Breaking News: Two US Marines Implicated in Notorious Iraq War Shooting
A shocking revelation has emerged in the 2005 Haditha massacre, where US Marines stormed into an Iraqi family's home and opened fire, killing everyone except for one survivor. According to a forensic expert, a BBC Eye investigation has uncovered evidence that implicates two US Marines in the killing of Safa Younes' family, who were shot on November 19, 2005, in Haditha, Iraq.
The evidence, mainly statements and testimony given in the aftermath of the killings, raises doubts about the American investigation into the incident. The two implicated Marines were never brought to trial, sparking questions over how US armed forces are held accountable. Safa Younes, now 33, was the only survivor of the shooting, which was part of a larger incident that became known as the Haditha killings.
The incident occurred on November 19, 2005, when US Marines stormed into the Younes family home, killing Safa's father, mother, and five siblings, as well as her aunt. Safa, who was hiding in the back bedroom with her siblings, miraculously survived the shooting. Her father was shot dead when he opened the front door.
The news has sparked immediate outrage and calls for accountability. The US military has yet to comment on the new evidence, but human rights groups are demanding a thorough investigation into the incident. The Haditha killings were widely condemned at the time, and the new evidence has reignited calls for justice.
In the aftermath of the 2003 US-led invasion of Iraq, the country was plagued by sectarian violence and civilian casualties. The Haditha killings were one of the most notorious incidents of the Iraq War, and the new evidence has shed new light on the events of that day. The incident has also raised questions about the US military's handling of investigations into civilian casualties.
As the international community demands answers, the US military is under pressure to reopen the investigation and bring those responsible to justice. Safa Younes, who has spoken out about the incident, has called for accountability and justice for her family. The world waits with bated breath for the US military's response to the new evidence.
