Grim images from Iraq: photos reveal 2005 Haditha massacre
Newly released photos have exposed the US Marines 2005 massacre of 24 Iraqi civilians, including children.
For nearly two decades, the US military kept these images hidden. The New Yorker Magazine’s persistent efforts led to their release through a legal battle.
The trial of eight Marines for the massacre resulted in minimal consequences.
The disturbing images depict the bodies of innocent civilians, including a young girl and her mother, which observers say starkly contrasts with the Marines’ claims of targeting only insurgents.
