A young male Iraqi was killed when the building collapsed due to a misdirected U.S. missile attack. The dead Iraqi was a young man with frizzy hair. He had already died and stopped breathing. The Iraqi's face was crushed between the rubble.

　Just before the war in Iraq began on March 20, 2003, the U.S. military did not initiate a ground war at that time, but instead conducted a series of air strikes. A young male Iraqi was killed when an errant U.S. missile strike caused a building to collapse. An Iraqi driver rushed to the pile of rubble and began to cry as soon as he looked under it. He saw the dead Iraqi buried under the rubble. The body emerged in the darkness around 7:00 a.m. The dead Iraqi was a young man with frizzy hair. He had already died and had stopped breathing. The Iraqi's face was crushed between the rubble. The U.S. military had launched a missile attack without looking at the murdered man's face. Since it was before the war started, this would be the first casualty of the Iraq war. Or perhaps No. 2 and No. 3 are buried under the rubble.

　The sobbing of the Iraqi driver continued. One Iraqi who had run outside peered at the bodies from behind. The Iraqi, who was a relative of the victim, pointed to the driver who continued to cry and said, "The corpse is the driver's brother." The driver of the car the news photographer came in was the brother of the first victim of the Iraqi war just before it started. We must leave this place as soon as possible. I had already captured the video evidence of the misdirected bombing on film and recorded it on a card. We must not stay too long in a dangerous place. However, the driver of the all-important car was unable to drive due to the tragedy. Eventually, even Iraqi policemen appeared, and if Iraqi military intelligence arrived at the scene, they might be arrested in a rage.

　At 5:34 a.m. (Baghdad time) on March 20, 2003, a surprise military invasion of Iraq was launched. There was no declaration of war. Approximately 248,000 U.S. soldiers, 45,000 British soldiers, 2,000 Australian soldiers, and about 194 Polish soldiers from the Special Forces GROM were sent. Coalition forces were also supported by about 70,000 more Iraqi Kurdish militia troops.On March 20, 2003, when the ultimatum to Saddam Hussein to withdraw from Iraq expired, American and allied forces began a full-scale invasion of Iraq.
