This is the hairdresser who was shot dead outside of my house. Her body was lying there for four hours before an American patrol came and cleaned the scene up. I couldn’t get close enough to get a clearer photo because we weren’t sure whether the body was booby trapped—or being watched by snipers. Photo by the author.

Life In Hell
Running for your life from fundamentalist bandits, helplessly watching innocent women being shot in the street, and car-bomb explosions that shatter your bedroom window. Just another humdrum day in the life of a student in Baghdad.
