Peace Campaigners Iraqi Diary

30.03.2003 12:40

Bristol peace activist Jo Wilding is in Baghdad witnessing the bombing. She's still managing to send out daily reports of life in the city. Read an excerpt of her diary below.

"Husham Hussein said he was about 200 metres away, indicating a set of traffic lights, when it happened. He saw the missile hit the front of the building where Mohammed’s shop used to be. It wasn’t a huge missile, he said, which fits with the relatively small size of the crater. He said a lot of people were injured in the flats above the shops. The shops were all open and the market was busy. He thought 25 people were killed. Someone else said 45-50 people had gone to hospital. No one could think of a military target nearby."
