Description

37 year-old British warrant officer Michael Haynes from Beverley, East Yorkshire, recounts an incident in which Iraqi soldiers broke into the family home (in Kuwait?), stole items and began molesting his wife and children. One Iraqi soldier tried to stop his colleagues, but had no influence. As a result of this he has no sympathy for Iraqis. Sally Arthy reports.
