The shelter
Description
Sketch of the bombed shelter at Azamiyah. Many women and children died when the US bombed this shelter. According to Jenny Barker, there was a story going around that the Iraqis let it be known that this was a military base, so the US forces naturally targeted it. Up until that time many Arabs had been pro U.S.
