Iraqi Homes Damaged in U.S. Raids

HeadlineFeb 23, 2007

In Iraq today, U.S. forces are continuing a series of raids around Baghdad. Several Iraqis reported property damage and injuries after U.S. troops entered their homes.

Sadr City resident Umm Jaafar: “They stormed our house while we were sleeping. We were afraid of them. They beat us and damaged the house on our heads. This is not a search. People did not do such things when searching. Normally, they search in a peaceful way.”
