One of the most heartbreaking stories from Iraq:

"It started with as a routine foot patrol through the streets of Tal Afar, Iraq. On the eveing of Jan. 18, a car approached a squad of US soldiers with the First Battalion, Fifth Infantry Stryker Brigade Combat Team, according to Chris Hondros, a photographer with Getty Images who was on patrol with them and filed an account to Photo District News. The car, as is customary after dark, was ordered to stop. Then warning shots were fired. Whe the car failed to slow, the soldiers fired directly into the front seats. After the vehicle rolled to a stop, the full horror of the situation unfolded: there were no insurgents in the car, no suicide bombers. In the front seat were two bodies, a man and a woman, riddled with holes; in the back seat were their six screaming children, orphaned in an instant."
