U.S. marines gather around a wounded Iraqi girl as they try to treat her in central Iraq March 29, 2003. Confused front line crossfire ripped apart an Iraqi family on Saturday after local soldiers appeared to force civilians towards U.S. marines positions. The four-year old girl, blood streaming from an eye wound, was screaming for her mother while her father, shot in a leg, begged to be freed from the plastic wrist cuffs slapped on him by U.S. marines so he could hug his other terrified daughter. The girl's mother died in the crossfire.
