Ambush, murder and kidnap: another day in 'post-war' Iraq

First there were staccato bursts of fire from Iraqi guerrillas on the
other side of the road. Then came the whoosh of RPG launchers.
American soldiers on their Humvees immediately fired back with
shuddering machine guns and M-16s. We rapidly drove off the road on to
a piece of waste ground along with several other cars. We jumped out
of the doors and lay on the ground. Bassil al-Kaissi, our driver,
shouted to other Iraqis who had also taken cover: "Take off your
keffiyehs [Arab head dresses] or the Americans will think you are
mujahedin and kill you."
