Humanitarian workers speak of US gunmen firing at ambulances and civilians … The head of mission of a European humanitarian agency with staff in Falluja told BBC News Online that, according to his staff, two of their ambulances had been shot at. “By who? The probability is by US snipers,” he said. Asked whether these were warning or attacking shots, he said: “One was shot two or three times – a sniper does not shoot an ambulance three times by mistake.” British aid worker Jo Wilding said an ambulance she was in, with flashing lights, siren blaring and “ambulance” written on it in English, was hit as it drove to collect a woman in premature labour … In a separate incident, Dr Obaidi said, a driver and paramedic in an ambulance were shot in a US-controlled area – one in the chest, the other in the eyes. The injured civilians inside the ambulance bled to death during the next two days as warning shots were fired when the team tried – four times – to return to collect the ambulance.
