The Fallujah story

Wildfire: feature/114: "The bus is following a car with the nephew of a local sheikh and a guide who has contacts with the Mujahedin and has cleared this with them. The reason I�m on the bus is that a journalist I knew turned up at my door at about 11 at night telling me things were desperate in Falluja, he�d been bringing out children with their limbs blown off, the US soldiers were going around telling people to leave by dusk or be killed, but then when people fled with whatever they could carry, they were being stopped at the US military checkpoint on the edge of town and not let out, trapped, watching the sun go down. "
