BAGHDAD, November 17 (IslamOnline.net & News Agencies) – The US pool reporter, who broke to the world the killing of a wounded, unarmed Iraqi prisoner by a marine, further revealed that more prisoners were shot dead though they did not appear threatening in any way.
NBC correspondent Kevin Sites was quoted by the Associated Press Wednesday, November 17, as saying that US Marines killed three more unarmed and wounded Iraqi prisoners in a Fallujah mosque Saturday, November 12.
He added the wounded had been left in the mosque for others to pick up and move to the rear for treatment. No reason was given why that had not happened.
The shooting in the Fallujah mosque became public Tuesday, November 16, with the airing of the footage taken Saturday by Sites.

I wondered why the outrage was so great. Here is how news gets blown up.
1.1999996 billion to go
He was not a PRISONER!! If he were a prisoner, they would know he was not dangerous as they would have disarmed him before taking him into custody. This guy is a creep.
Is Sites a commy want to be?
Look at the source. Getting featured on a website like that must be like a Pulitzer to Sites...
4 Iraqi terrorists? Too bad they missed the 1 American journalist/traitor.
It would really be too bad if they missed and hit Sites, wouldn't it?
N.Y. Times' best.
He has a web site of anti-war photos.
You are correct as they were not prisoners. They were left unguarded for quite some time. This guy Sites is something else. Parley
America's military is killing terrorists and I applaud all of their efforts.
This Sites guy is a real subversive. I hope he gets what he deserves.
Damn Shame.
That starts a downward spiral though, doesn't it?
Ought to disallow embedded reporters now. Switch back to US marine trained reporters.
I think those reporters and cameramen hold the marines back when they are moving.
Nothing ever appears threatening to a reporter. The soldiers should have gone up and kissed those jihadists, probably.
There were 2 there: the camera man also.
Were they wearing uniforms? If not, then killing them was perfectly legal under the Geneva Convention.
I can't comment on this subhuman POS; I'll get banned.
Sites is doing in Iraq exactly what Kerry did in VietNam. No doubt he will return and become the liberal media's posterboy for the anti-war and anti-Bush agenda.
We'll see if Kevin Sites has the courage to go back into the combat zone...
Next time the shooting starts, no marine will risk his life to save Kevin's.
