Iraq War - The rape and murder of Abeer Qassim Hamza al-Janabi

In 2006 a 14 year old Abeer Qassim Hamza al-Janabi was gang raped and murdered by soldiers while her family was murdered in an adjoining room.


This video is to remember the life of a young girl and her family.

Abeer Hamza lived with her mother and father (Fakhriya Taha Muhasen, 34, and Qassim Hamza Raheem, 45, respectively) and their 3 other children, 7 year old daughter Hadeel Qassim Hamza, 13 year son Mohammed and his younger brother. Their house was situated approximately 200 metres away from a 6 manned U.S. traffic checkpoint, southwest of the village of Yusufiyah, which lies west of the larger township of Al-Mahmudiyah (in the coalition termed area "Triangle of Death").

According to her neighbours, Abeer spent most of her days at home as her parents would not allow her to go to school following security concerns. The American soldiers would often watch Abeer from their checkpoint, doing her chores and tending the garden. The neighbors had warned Abeer's father of this but he replied it was not a problem as she was just a small girl.

Abeer's brother Mohammed (who survived along with his younger brother, due to being at school at the time of the killings) recalls the soldiers often searched the house. And on one such occasion PFC Steven Dale Green ran his index finger down Abeer's cheek, which had terrified the 14 year old girl.

Abeer's mother told her relatives before the murders, that whenever she caught the soldiers staring at Abeer, they would give her the thumbs-up sign, point to her daughter and say "Very good, very good." Evidently this had concerned her and she made plans for Abeer to spend night times sleeping at her uncle's (Ahmad Qassim) house.

[MUSICUNITEFUL]

All d countries should get united to perish America.What drive them to do so evil act.After this heinous act d accused r getting jail for which they can get parole after 10yrs.What a ridiculous verdict by bastards.If this same has been done by some other nationalist then these scavengers would have killed him by torturing.According to me they must b confined in a chamber where daily group of homosexual would fuck their ass.Then these rascals would know what rape is.Almighty rest her in peace.

@redzer06 It wasnt America it was a few bad men.You show me a military that is perfect.Look at the thousands being killed by many leaders in this world.Hussieny killed thousands of INNOCENT PEOPLE alone.

[OU812DAVESTER]

No one ever mentions the atrocities carried out by the former leader of Iraq against his own people but can condem a great country and military for the actions of a very few bad people.I agree America shouldnt be there.I believe we should just stay home and let all these people live there happy lives.

USA, you're gonna pay for this sooner or later!! and it's as we see starting this century!

[redzer06]

Well done america, really helps improve your image around the world.

Obama plans to spend another 5 TRILLION dollars on programs if he is elected his next term, if he succeeds we'll be in an even bigger bankruptcy then we are now. Our ENTIRE living is at risk, our money saved up for retirement, medical issues etc. is going out the window. Don't let this happen.

@sweetypie000 The "U.S.A Government" has risen to the top within 200 years of existence. I'm proud of my Country and what it represents, we're in a troubled time right now but i dont doubt we'll rise to our feet and make forward momentum.

[sweetypie000]

@A3M10 the USA government puts the country to shame tbh

[sweetypie000]

Rape has always been common place in war. Not that it's right but this is what happens when you brainwash kids with guns and compromise their principles by letting them loose on a people your government describe as low-life scum unfortunately.

This is what happens when a cupposed civilised country wants to rob a weaker ones oil and assets.

Btw, Russians in WW2 raped millions of women and children and in Africa in recent times boy soldiers are commanded to gang rape women and children
