There’s a silly tradition in Iraq during the celebrations, especially wedding parties,which is firing in the sky to express the happiness and joy in such occasions.. Every time there’s a wedding party in a place, there are some casualties or dangerous accidents in another, it seems like there’s no other way to express their happiness other than firing.. fill the sky with shots, then the sky rains the ‘happy’ bullets to kill the people..
I don’t know why they don’t scatter flowers gently during the happy days..
However, I can imagine what happened yesterday in that wedding party ( if it was )and specially in that place where there are plenty of bullets! ( those areas are very well known in weapons smuggling)..
The aircraft passed through that place, faced the heavy fire, thought it was an attack.. Then bombed the place..
OR.. Those people were foreign fighters in houses, attacked the coalition forces, and the aircraft bombed them...
I’m waiting for the electric power to see what Brigadier General Mark Kimmitt says..
