Four killed as RI's Mer-C ambulance hit by U.S. missile [April
14, 2004]
JAKARTA (JP): An ambulance of the Medical
Emergency Rescue Committee (Mer-C) donated by Indonesia was shot by
a missile launched from a U.S. jet fighter in Fallujah, Iraq, killing
four people, news reports said on Wednesday.
"The ambulance's driver and three patients
who had been evacuated were killed as a missile launched from the U.S.
jet fighter hit them. The ambulance was blasted to pieces," Joserizal
Jurnalis, the chairman of the Mer-C, told Republika on Tuesday.
Joserizal said the incident occurred
last Friday at noon after Abu Ibrahim, the driver who was a Jordanian
volunteer for Merc-C, had just evacuated the three victims.
He said that the organization would lodge
a strong protest against the U.S. government via the U.S. Embassy in
Indonesia.
BBC News, April 14, 2003:
At least 87 US soldiers have died in
action this month while aid agencies counted at
least 470 Iraqi dead in the Sunni city of Falluja alone last week,
with 243 women and 200 children among them.
