Iraqi Boy Shot by American Military Remembered

Remember an iraqi Boy who lost his parents because of the American's, but yet he got medical treatment in the U.S. because he too was injured bu the American's at Tal Afar.


BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS - JANUARY 11: Rakan Hassan, 12, stands free of his crutches in the halls of Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital in January 11, 2006 in Boston, Massachusetts. Racan's parents were shot and killed and he was gravely wounded by U.S. soldiers in an accidental shooting on January 18, 2005 in the northern Iraqi city of Tal Afar. The incident was widely publicized, and ultimately led to Racan's treatment in Boston. With nerve damage to his abdomen and spine, doctors thought Racan might never walk again, but an intensive physical therapy regimen has brought back the use of his legs and he can now walk with assistance. Racan is slated to return to Iraq and his siblings in a few weeks. (Photo by Chris Hondros/Getty Images)
