A Photographers Account of a Suicide Bombing

More Realities of War

Below is the first paragraph of the graphic account -in text and images- of the aftermaths of a suicide bombing in Iraq.

The photographer, Zoriah, -who you may be familiar with through earlier posts- has since had his embed assignment cancelled by the Marine Corps for posting the blog on his site, which includes pictures of dead soldiers.

Anbar Province Suicide Bombing - Zoriah's Eyewitness Account - Iraq War Diary

My hands still shake and my heart pounds despite my fatigue. A combination of depression, fear, and adrenaline makes my thoughts race with the realization that a simple decision was the only thing that separated me from a body count that grows daily. I look at the images I took on the 26th of June, and realize they do nothing to capture the emotion of being an eyewitness to the aftermath of the Al-Qaeda suicide attack in Karmah/Garma... the smell... the sound of screams and crying........
