The New Yorker Publishes Images from U.S. Marines’ 2005 Massacre of Iraqi Civilians

HeadlineSep 03, 2024

The New Yorker has published images of the U.S. Marines’ 2005 massacre of Iraqi civilians in the town of Haditha. The graphic images show many of the victims were shot in the head at close range. Release of the photos comes 19 years after the massacre, and only after producers of the investigative podcast “In the Dark” sued the Navy, the Marine Corps and U.S. Central Command to force them to turn over the photos and other records. Later in the broadcast, we’ll speak with Madeleine Baran, lead reporter for “In the Dark,” who traveled to Haditha to meet with family members of the victims of the killings.
