Looting Stops In Bagdahd
Via ScrappleFace:
- The looting in Baghdad stopped suddenly today as Iraq's largest organized crime family disappeared from the city. Thousands of Baghdad residents entered government buildings in an attempt to retrieve some small portion of what had been stolen from them for the past 24 years.
"I got a big vase from one of Uday's offices," said one local woman. "It can never replace the family members Saddam took from me, but all of this stuff belongs to the people and it was taken from us without our permission."
