US troops kill merchant defending shop against looters
Fri Apr 11,11:52 AM ET

BAGHDAD (AFP) - US soldiers shot and killed a Baghdad shopkeeper who was defending his shop with a Kalashnikov assault rifle against looters, neighbours told an AFP photographer


The merchant pulled his rifle on the thieves when they began sacking the shop, neighbours said.


When US soldiers approached the area, the looters told them that the shopkeeper was a member of Saddam Hussein (news - web sites)'s Fedayeen paramilitary force.


The American troops opened fire with heavy machine guns, killing the man, the neighbors said.


The photographer saw the covered body of Mohammad al-Barheini, 25, lying on a shelf of his shop, his head in a bag, on the Al-Rashid commercial street in the capital.

What were they looting? Do they even have anything to loot there besides a toy racetrack hooked up to a car battery?

The looting was originally confined to government buildings and the palaces, but has since shifted to people's homes and independent stores.

Yesterday, looters stole priceless artifacts, some more than 4000 years old, from the Baghdad museum.
