Eric Mueller comments: APPARENTLY the American troops occupying Baghdad are not satisfied raiding the houses of the human population. They feel impelled to invade the zoo and harrass the animals too.

Uday's tiger bites off the hand of American soldier Baghdad - QNA: A tiger that previously belonged to Uday Saddam Hussein, the son of the deposed Iraqi President, bit off the hand of an American soldier - an act that cost the tiger his life when ten American soldiers opened fire on his cage. The American soldier was teasing the tiger, then in the Baghdad Zoo, when suddenly the tiger attacked the soldier and took off his hand. The director of the Zoo affirmed that the American troops do not have the right to kill the animals, in particular since this one was of a rare breed. He said that he would be forming a committee to investigate the incident, which occurred last night. Reuter's version of the same story, omitting details...
