A Block in Baghdad Mourns Its Own
BAGHDAD, March 31 — Abdul Qader, his chest and leg wrapped in white bandages, began to cry — not out of pain, but loss. He remembered seeing the American Humvees, then a hail of bullets. He remembered seeing his close friend and neighbor, Abbas Ramadan, shot as he clutched his 2-year-old granddaughter, blood oozing from her head. Abdul Qader ran and ran until he collapsed from the bullets that pierced his own body.
