That Mustafa was a tough little bugger

Too bad he had the misfortune is being born his granpa's grandson.

(now just wait...somebody out there will accuse the US soldiers of child abuse because they blew away a 14-year old)

from MSNBC:

"At 10:10 a.m., troops from the U.S. Army’s 101st Airborne Division entered the house and headed upstairs where Odai, Qusai, a bodyguard and Qusai’s 14-year-old son were barricaded in a safe room surrounded by double-thick bulletproof glass.

The four opened fire, wounding three soldiers. The Americans retreated and called in bigger guns.

Over the next three hours, U.S. troops pounded the house with rockets, grenades and heavy machine gun fire while helicopter gunships fired rockets through the roof.

Unbelievably, those barricaded inside were still shooting back.

At 1 p.m. the Americans fired 10 TOW anti-tank missiles, finally killing Odai, Qusai and the bodyguard.
...
But somehow, Qusai’s son Mustafa survived. As U.S. troops approached, he opened fire. The soldiers shot back, killing the 14-year old."
