A Palestinian man from the West Bank city of Jenin was said to have been killed in the US missile strikes on Baghdad early Thursday morning.
The family of Ahmed Raed Elbaz received a phone call from relatives in the Iraqi capital to say that Elbaz had been killed in the bombardment that targeted Iraqi leaders.
The family set up a mourning tent and said that Elbaz was a bus driver in Baghdad.
Both Iraq and the International Red Cross said that one civilian had been killed and 14 wounded in the air strikes.

Would you look at this. Our guys are so careful with civlians, we are going to be able to learn the NAME of every civilian casualty. Good going guys! This has never been done in any war before.

said that Elbaz was a bus driver in Baghdad. What is a bus driver doing in a bunker with Iraqi leadership? Or was he murdered and his body dumped in the wreckage.

At least he was warned that something was coming. No one on 9/11 had a 48 hour warning.

Intertesting. Wonder if this
innocent bus driver is the same person mentioned on another thread:
According to UPI, the Palestine Liberation Front said Thursday one of its guerrillas was killed during the U.S. missile strikes on Iraq. A PFL statement released in the southern city of Sidon (Syrian-occupied Lebanon) identified the slain guerrilla as 1st Lieutenant Ahmed Walid Raguib al-Baz who was killed early Thursday "while confronting the treacherous U.S. air bombardment on Iraq."
