This Iraqi boy’s name is Ali. He is 12 years-old and lives in Baghdad. The U.S. Air Force dropped a cluster bomb on him, severing his arms and slaughtering most of his family as he lay sleeping in bed.
Lying in a Baghdad hospital, he said:
“It was midnight when the missile fell on us. My father, my mother and my brother died. My mother was five months pregnant.”
Having lost his closest family members, and knowing he will be crippled for the rest of his life, 12 year-old Ali has considered committing suicide.
