Iraqi bloggers report from Baghdad's urban battlefield

During the ordeal many things were running through my head, I was thinking about the previous trouble that I have faced and remembered the comments that really helped me to be cool; I was thinking about my dead friend Omar, who was killed by the Iraqi army in a situation like mine, he was talking with my other friend on the phone when he reached a checkpoint for the Iraqi army in Harthia neighborhood, so he placed the phone aside and my friend could hear everything through the phone … it was so similar to my case, but they took him and the next day his dead body was found in a garbage!!!
