I see Iraqi civilians, in Iraq, being killed by an occupying foreign force that had no right nor mandate to be there.

The date of this incident was 12th July 2007 wasn't it? In which case the foreign force most certainly did have both a right to be there and a duly authorised mandate to be there. Whether you think that they had any right to be there or not is irrelevant, at that time all MNF troops were operating in Iraq at the express invitation of the internationally recognised Government of the State of Iraq and under a Mandate issued by the Security Council of the United Nations.

During that month in 2007 some 3000 odd civilians were killed in Iraq, most of them by fellow Iraqis and fellow Muslims, in Baghdad alone the number was about 1200+. In this incident the more I have looked at it the more I am sure that the children had probably been snatched and were being held hostage as window dressing, they are the innocents in all of this. The Reuters employees could have taken measures to make them stand out conspicuously as accredited members of the international PRESS but elected not to do so for reasons best known to themselves. Whatever this incident was, it most certainly was not cold-blooded murder, by any stretch of the imagination.
