American Peace Activists Confirm Iraqi Hospital Bombed
Peggy Gish, right, talks to members of the media about her experience in Iraq as her colleague Kara Speltz, left, looks on, shortly after their arrival in the Jordanian capital of Amman late Sunday, March 30, 2003. The group of nine peace activists left Baghdad Saturday morning in three vehicles. One of them, lagging well behind the others, blew a tire past the far western small Iraqi town of Rutbah, spun out and landed on its side in a ditch. Iraqis took five injured men to Rutbah, where they found a hospital that had been bombed by U.S-led coalition forces, but Iraqi medical staff enthusiastically treated their injuries and sent them on their way.
