A wounded Iraqi girl is treated by U.S. marines in central Iraq March 29, 2003. Confused front line crossfire ripped apart an Iraqi family on Saturday after local soldiers appeared to force civilians towards U.S. marines positions. The four-year old girl, blood streaming from an eye wound, was screaming for her dead mother, while her father, shot in a leg, begged to be freed from the plastic wrist cuffs slapped on him by U.S. marines, so he could hug his other terrified daughter.

Caught in the cross-fire
U.S. Army soldiers from A Company, 3rd Battalion, 7th Infantry Regiment approach an injured woman who was caught in the cross-fire with Iraqi forces over the Euphrates River when the U.S. Army seized a bridge in Hindiyah, Iraq, on Monday. The Army's Task Force 4-64, part of the 3rd Infantry Division, took the strategic bridge in its move north toward Baghdad. The woman, who was near a dead civilian man, was bleeding and had apparently been shot in the buttock.
