Iraqis say Americans shot woman without warning
An Iraqi TV employee who was shot and critically wounded on New Year’s Day said the U.S. soldiers who fired at her gave no warning, her supervisor said Saturday.
Hadil Emad, a videotape editor with Beladi Satellite TV, was crossing a bridge over the Tigris River on her way to work when she was shot, the channel’s editor-in-chief, Assam Sada, told CNN. He said Emad told him she heard no warning from the soldiers.
The U.S. military said in a statement the woman was acting suspiciously and failed to respond to warnings before she was shot.
