Slightly more relevent to the situation.
Sorry everyone missed it, it's not got any evil Americans making stupid jokes in it.

"Two vehicles came and parked close to the parking lot. Four or five men left the vehicle, and we hear the noise, the shooting of the machine gun, it was so close, so loud and it was continuous."
Saleem and his wife hid behind a tree, but they could see who the gunmen were targeting.
"I start looking and they are shooting on the kids," he said. "Eight of the kids fell already on the ground. The guys kept shooting — they just wanted to make sure that everybody is dead."
The boys were Sunni and Shiite. They had been playing soccer.
The houses around the empty lot are owned by families of both sects. They have known each other for years. Until then, sectarian tensions had been kept in check, but the savagery of this attack sent them over the edge.
"And that is when I saw something that I will never forget in my whole life — they just went crazy," Saleem said. "Fathers, brothers, they get quickly inside their houses, they take their weapons and they start shooting on their neighbors."
It turned into a sectarian free-for-all.
"Shia start shooting Sunni houses, Sunnis start shooting Shia houses. They let the real criminals run away," Saleem said. "The men in the houses they lost their mind totally."
The battle lasted for two hours. The bodies of the young boys lay in the field until everyone's ammunition was spent.
Finally, in the late afternoon, the remains were collected.
The man who picked them up told Saleem he was startled by how light their little corpses were.
Nine children were killed in the attack. Saleem knew many of them.
Trouble in the neighborhood seems far from over. More men with guns from both sects have arrived.
The Shiite militiamen on one street, Sunni insurgents on another, and angry families in the middle of it all.
