In Iraq, some assailants don’t escape
Amid new U.S. casualties, a father turns in his teenage son
By Theola Labbé
THE WASHINGTON POST
BAGHDAD, July 31 — U.S. troops in Iraq have grown grimly accustomed to guerrilla-style assaults by nameless, faceless attackers who toss grenades or fire mortars at them on an almost daily basis.
BUT IRAQIS WHO live along Baghdad’s busy Haifa Street refused to let such an attack go unsolved this morning. When someone shot an antitank weapon at a U.S. military armored vehicle, wounding one soldier, local residents identified a teenager from the neighborhood as the assailant, and the boy’s father handed him over to U.S. troops, witnesses said.
“Those soldiers were very nice guys,” said Salim Saheb Alwan, 55, a retired military officer who witnessed the attack. “We used to talk to them and play with these people.”
