From Checkpoint to Grave, Fallujah - 09/27/03
Mourners prepare to lower the body of Sheikha Beijiya into her grave in a cemetary near Fallujah. The elderly woman was killed -- along with her daughter, son-in-law, and one-year-old grandson -- by American soldiers who say they opened fire on the family's car when it failed to stop at a temporary checkpoint on the road from Fallujah to Baghdad.
