Patrick Graham spent the past week travelling across Iraq, speaking to

Sunday April 11, 2004
The Observer
When we arrived at the bridge outside Falluja at noon on Friday, the
Iraqi Red Crescent handed us an old white T-shirt, led us through the
crowd and asked us to talk to the soldiers. The US Marines approached
carefully, but soon opened the bridge. After a few hundred children
and women crossed, crowds on both sides disappeared in less than a few
minutes, leaving the soldiers alone.
'Where the *****'d they go? Hey you, where you going?' the sergeant
asked as seven mortar rounds drop a few hundred yards on either side
of the bridge. 'They're going to hit us - you watch.'
