Description

Iraqi civilians, all men, gathered in small groups underneath a bridge in the village of Al Khidr. There is a young boy on a bicycle on the left, and a number of parked cars on the right. This image was taken from an armoured UK Land Rover, known as a 'snatch vehicle', as the front of the vehicle can be seen in the foreground. These vehicles were originally built for use in Northern Ireland and were used by members of the Australian Civil Military Co-operation (CIMIC) Team, as well as other Australian troops.
