On December 8th about 11pm he was asleep, off duty, in the guard room at the entrance to Abu Ghraib hospital. A car arrived with a patient inside and his colleague went out to search the car, because all vehicles entering the hospital have to be searched.
A Humvee of US soldiers came and started shooting at random with the gun on top of the vehicle. They all ran back into the guard room. His two friends were injured by glass from the window. A bullet hit Hassan in his abdomen. Another went through the window of the delivery room while women were giving birth in there.
Just before Hassan went into the operating theatre, the commander, a Major whose name I couldn’t quite understand, maybe Major Pavel, something like that, came and told him he was sorry. It was a mistake. Oops. article
