Midnight Inspection (2)

May 13 2006
Today morning US troops tried to get more houses to use them as snipers bases. and many fighters appeared with their guns to stop this. US soldiers use all power that they can get from tanks and helicopters that attacked many houses and killed many people (most of the victims were civilians).

This time the US soldiers choosed my house to use it as snipers base. At 3:00 am 10s of US soldiers destroyed the out gate of my house and get the house while my family were sleeping. They hided in the garden for a while. I wake up. I heard their sounds and steps, after a while they got inside after crushing the two main doors of my house.

Then I got out my room to show myself with some English words that can help my family to avoid the harmful reaction of the American way of getting in the bedrooms. The US soldiers shouted on me "freeze...! turn back to the wall with raised hands now" the US soldiers shouted on me. I did what he asked me. Other US soldier inspected me then he said to the officer who was watching me
carefully "He is clean".

There was three Iraqi soldiers who can't speak English at all. but they were speaking each other.

the officer asked me while the other soldiers moving around me.
"OK. can U help US to finish our job here. We need U to tell us about this house and what kind of people living here". In fact I can't see them it was dark, but they see me by their instruments that found in the helmets. But I noticed that the officer brought our kerosene lamp to help to see my steps and to see him while he was talking to me.

"Please do not hurt us, we are peaceful family and my family include kids, women and old man (my father) ... please let me wake them by myself to be ready for
inspection." I said.
"OK. Hurry up and I want all the people who is living here come to be in this room" the officer said pointing to my small room. I hurried to wake up my father and mother telling them calmly. "US soldiers are here and all of us are OK. and they want all of us to be in one room" I said to my father with calm voice to avoid scaring him. he has heart problems.

Then I went to my sisters room and waked them up and took them to my room. 2 US soldiers moving with me without saying any words. They felt safe with me
because I was doing the orders.

The room of kids... I found my nephews were sleeping. one of my nephe (Mustafa 5 years old) was sick and sleeping deeply. I carried him and moved with the
other kids to my room. Finally I waked up all the family and all of them stayed in the room.

The soldiers started fixing hands of all family members. but I stopped him.
"please do not do this. U can lock the door but don’t tight the hands, there is kids. it is hard for them. please do not do that" I said to the officer.
"OK... lock the door. it will be enough" the officer said.
"Are U 18 members living in this house ?? how? " the officer asked me.
"We have no choice. that is all what we can. No other place to live... but it is ok. our house kind enough for all of us together" I answered with smile, trying to make them relax.

"U R good boy. Take care of your family" he said with smile
"Oh no... I am not boy. I am man. Do not let me feel bad" I said to him, kidding.
"Oh! sorry sorry. How old are U???"
"I am 30 years old."
"Oh, U look younger. 30 ??? Are U sure?? "
"Yes, I am sure. and looks younger is good for my girl friend, right?"
"hahaha... yes sure... U deserve good one " officer said with laughing.
"She is good. and it is not your business. OK??" I said with laughing.
"OK... OK... now get in with your family and we will open the door when we finish. Get in the room please" the officer said. I keep quiet while I am getting in the room. One of the soldiers locked the door and we stayed in darkness.

At beginning I thought that the soldiers will get out after they finish inspecting the house. but they stayed till the 11:20 am... and we stayed in the dark room for 6 hours...

The first 2 hours was ok although it was very hot and dark. But the problems started when my nephew Mustafa want to go to bathroom. I asked the soldiers to allow him to go.
"We can't open it. only Americans can open it. We are not allowed to do anything without their orders" Iraqi soldier said to me.
"OK, tell them now. This boy is sick and he needs to go to toilet now"
"OK... I will try... I can't speak English. I just will tell them by signs, ok??" the Iraqi soldiers said
"OKOK" I said.

he went upstairs and after a few miutes he came back with one US soldier.
"What is your problem ??? " the American soldier asked me behind the locked door. I explained for him about my nephew, then he opened the door.
"OK, he should go alone" the American soldier said.
"No, he can't he is sick. he is sick he can't walk. he have weak legs"
"OKOK. U go with him. and U (pointing to the Iraqi soldier), watch them." the American soldier said to me and the Iraqi soldier.
"what he said ??" the Iraqi soldier asked me. I explained for him. Then we go to the toilet and the Iraqi soldier points his gun on us, me and 5 years sick Mustafa.

This way of used with everyone went to the bathroom. we spend 6 hours as hostages in dark hot room.
