Afghans recall US soldier’s killing rampage – Dawn.com
Masooma said that the soldier returned to the family’s bedroom after killing her husband. She stood in terror. Her children hid under their blankets. The soldier moved slowly and seemed angry. Gesturing to show how he hit her in the arms and shoved her to the ground, Masooma said he then moved toward her son Hikmatullah, then 7. Her son said he remembers the sight of the attacker in full military uniform. ”I was so afraid. I pretended I was asleep,” he said.
Masooma said the soldier found Hikmatullah and punched him repeatedly in the head. She said the soldier then found her two-year-old daughter, Shahara. He grabbed her pigtails and violently shook her head back and forth.
He then went to the crying baby Hazratullah and shoved the muzzle of his black pistol into the infant’s mouth, she said.
