Who knows, maybe it was a mistake. maybe Saddam was clustering his forces near the foreign journalists, just like he was using hospitals and schools for human shields. It easy to rush to judgement |
The tank fired in response to sniper fire.
Considering that everyone should have known that the hotel was full of journalists, this was a pretty big screw up by whom ever was in the tank.
