The first incident involved reporters from Al Jazeera. According to commanders on the ground, Coalition forces came under significant enemy fire from the building where the Al Jazeera journalists were working and, consistent with the inherent right of self-defense, Coalition forces returned fire. Sadly, an Al Jazeera correspondent was killed in this exchange.
In the second incident, commanders on the ground reported that Coalition forces received significant enemy fire from the Palestine Hotel in Baghdad and, consistent with their inherent right of self defense, Coalition forces returned fire. Sadly, a Reuters and a Tele 5 (Spain) journalist were killed in this exchange.
I am sorry for these people's death. They were in an area that was declared for war, and there are going to be casualties in war. They were in a place that there was firing on our soliders and they were firing back. If they did not want to get killed they should have stayed home. While I am sorry for their death, do not blame it only on the Americans. Did not Sadam have a chance to step down as well. He is guilty as we are for their death, not just US.
