Iraqi Seeks Probe of Killing
Iraq’s U.N. ambassador Friday accused U.S. Marines of killing his 21-year-old cousin “in cold blood” during a June 25 raid in a village in the Sunni Muslim-dominated province of Anbar.
Samir S.M. Sumaidaie called on the United States to investigate the death of Mohammed Sumaidaie in “a credible and fair way to ensure that justice is done.” He said the killing represents a “betrayal” of Iraqi and U.S. efforts to rebuild Iraq on a foundation of “freedom, democracy and respect for human rights and the rule of law.”
