Wide shot of Ali on gurney surrounded by doctors STORYLINE: A 12-year-old boy who lost his arms in a missile explosion and became a symbol of Iraqi war suffering arrived on Wednesday at a hospital in Kuwait City after being airlifted from Baghdad. Ali Ismaeel Abbas was carried off an ambulance on a stretcher and taken into the Saud A Albabtain Centre for Burns and Plastic Surgery. Ali suffered severe burns and lost his arms when a missile struck his home in Baghdad, killing his father, brother and pregnant mother. It was unclear who fired the missile, but Baghdad was under heavy American bombardment when the family was hit. Doctors gave the boy a quick evaluation before taking him into surgery. He is likely to face a considerable amount of skin grafting. Initial reports said the boy had been burned on over 60 percent of his body, but Najada said that judging from the front of his body, around 20 percent appeared to be burned. The boy was accompanied to the hospital by an uncle, Mohammed al-Sultany, who told reporters he was thankful for Kuwait's help. Dr Imad Najada, the plastic surgeon attending to Ali, said doctors would check the boy's tissue to see how much of it can be used for skin grafts. If there isn't enough, synthetic skin can be used, he said. Ali's plight has attracted worldwide attention as a symbol of Iraqi suffering during the US-led campaign to oust Saddam Hussein. Recovery from such severe burns often takes about a year, and the cost runs into the hundreds of thousands of dollars. Several charities from around the world have offered to help with the expenses ================================================================= 12:52:43 #109 Baghdad b-roll, looting, bags of food, street scenes DOPESHEET: 030416#109 Name: 030416#109 Title: IRAQ BAGHDAD ZDF EVN1 Type: EVN FEED In point: 16:20:27.10 Out point: 16:22:01.03 Duration: 00:01:33.21 Tape ID Dopesheet BAGHDAD Date Shot: 16-APR-2003 Location: BAGHDAD Country: IRAQ Sound: NATURAL Language: Source: DEZDF Restrictions: Web Use Restricted: N Dopesheet: Shotlist: =========================================================================== 12:54:29 #98 Witness on Abbas DOPESHEET: 030416#098 Name: 030416#098 Title: IRAQ ABBAS WITNESSES RAI EVNW Type: EVN FEED In point: 14:30:54.28 Out point: 14:34:54.02 Duration: 00:03:59.02 Tape ID 6194 Dopesheet Date Shot: 16-APR-2003 Location: BAGHDAD Country: IRAQ Sound: NATURAL Language: Source: ITRAI Restrictions: Web Use Restricted: N Dopesheet: Palestinian leader Abu Abbas, who leaded the hijacking of an Italian cruise ship in 1985, was captured by U.S. special forces and is in U.S. custody in Baghdad.

Mid shot Mohsen with another neighbour STORYLINE The Baghdad neighbours of Mohammed Abu Abbas, leader of the Palestinian group that hijacked the cruise liner Achille Lauro in 1985, in Wednesday expressed surprise at his arrest by US marines. Abbas was seized by US special operations forces during a raid in the capital on Monday. He is reported to have lived in an Iraqi government guest house for 17 years. The 55-year-old had eluded arrest in a quiet, middle-class neighbourhood since four of his followers hijacked the Italian vessel as it sailed from Egypt to Israel in October 1985. Neighbours described him as a pleasant and polite man who had a Lebanese wife, Rem, and a son Ali, who lives in Lebanon. Abbas assumed the lifestyle of a local - except for the constant presence of four bodyguards. Neighbours said he left his home 10 days ago and they haven't seen him since. The Palestinian Authority demanded his release on Wednesday, saying his arrest violated a 1995 interim agreement between Israel and the Palestinians. According to the deal, no PLO officials were to be arrested for violent acts committed before the 1993 Israel-PLO pact of mutual recognition, said Palestinian Cabinet minister Saeb Erekat. US officials would not disclose their plans for Abbas but Italy said it would demand his extradition, according to reports. ========================================================================== 13:03:26 #76 APTN Baghdad wrap 13:03:52 vehicles on road, people returning to Baghdad 13:04:09 marines administer aid to injured iraqi 13:04:24 protestors 13:04:28 close on banner 13:04:56 searching a building DOPESHEET: AP-APTN-1200: +Baghdad Wrap 2 Wednesday, 16 April 2003 STORY: +Baghdad Wrap 2 - WRAP City hall raid, injured looter, refugees return LENGTH: 3:20 FIRST RUN: 1200 RESTRICTIONS: Part UK/CNNi/Ireland/Euronews/Internet TYPE: Arabic/Eng/Nat SOURCE: APTN/SKY STORY NUMBER: 369836 DATELINE: Baghdad - 15/16 April 2003 SHOTLIST: (First Run 0800 gmt Europe Morning 16 April 2003) APTN - APTN Clients Only 16 April 2003 1.

Bridge over Tigris River STORYLINE Less than a week after the fall of Baghdad, families who fled the Iraqi capital are returning in large numbers. On Wednesday, the road from Tikrit was congested with the cars and vans of residents - and any household goods they had managed to take with them. But with no government, there is disorder in many areas of the capital. Looting is still taking place. Summary justice is meted out to some of the offenders - as happened on the fringes of a demonstration outside the Palestine Hotel in the centre of the city. US marines helped two suspects who had been injured by angry Iraqis. Residents say hospitals have been stripped of equipment and supplies and there are no doctors to treat people. Many people are living in squalor in ruined buildings. There are food shortages, prices are rising and the Iraqi currency, the dinar, is virtually worthless. Some civilians say they are terrified of those they call the "mafia" who have allegedly armed themselves weapons taken from Baghdad's government ministries. On the outskirts of Baghdad, abandoned Iraqi military hardware was in evidence. Meanwhile, US forces are continuing to sweep the capital for remaining Fedayeen militia. A US marines special operations unit raided the offices of the mayor of Baghdad on Tuesday night looking for Fedayeen, documents, maps and weapons.

Explosive scare devices were used to lure the suspects out from their hiding places in the bomb-shattered remains of the bank in Al-Sbaa square. The suspects, about 10 of them, were physically dragged out of the bank at gunpoint and handcuffed. One of the suspects became separated from his prosthetic leg. Iraqis watching the scene cheered the US troops, then jeered the Baghdad police who arrived late on the scene. After being humiliated by the crowd, the chief of the Iraqi police threatened to shoot some of the bystanders. He was eventually calmed down. The cash was put into US armoured vehicles and moved to a safer location =========================================================================== 13:10:38 #59 orphanage DOPESHEET: 030416#059 Name: 030416#059 Title: IRAQ BAGHDAD ORPHANAGE APF 1035G Type: FEED-LINES In point: 11:36:28.21 Out point: 11:39:04.29 Duration: 00:02:36.06 Tape ID 6187 Dopesheet IRAQ Baghdad Orphanage - NEW Baghdad orphanage averts looters RESTRICTIONS: APTN Clients Only TYPE: Arabic/Nat SOURCE: APTN DATELINE: Baghdad - 16 April 2003 SHOTLIST: 1.

Various of little children in the yard STORYLINE: The main orphanage in Baghdad has survived the war and the post-war looting intact. During the nights of coalition bombing, the children remained in the orphanage. Orphanage manager, Aniba Jabar, said throughout the coalition strikes, the children all slept in the same room. Jabar said they were terrified and cried in fear. When Baghdad fell one week ago, looters tried to break into the orphanage but they were stopped by a security guard and local neighbours. They tried to break into the building a second time, but still didn't manage to get in. Now the children and the caretakers are settling into some semblance of normality. It is one of the few major institutions in Baghdad left relatively unscathed from the war. Non-government organisations provided the orphanage with enough food and medicine to get through the war without any problems. The orphanage takes in children from all age groups - from new-born babies to 18-year-olds. =========================================================================== 13:13:16 #40 special operations unit of marines raides offices of the mayor of baghdad in a sweep for fedayeen DOPESHEET: 030416#040 Name: 030416#040 Title: IRAQ RAID APTN EVNY Type: EVN FEED In point: 09:47:42.23 Out point: 09:50:16.04 Duration: 00:02:33.11 Tape ID 6178 Dopesheet Date Shot: 16-APR-2003 Location: BAGHDAD Country: IRAQ Sound: NATURAL Language: Source: GBAPTN Restrictions: Web Use Restricted: N Dopesheet: A Special Operations unit of US Marines has raided the offices of the Mayor of Baghdad, in a sweep for fedayeen, secret documents, maps and weapons.

Vincent Brooks, US Central Command spokesman: "Fire was indeed delivered from coalition forces. It was lethal fire and some Iraqis were killed as a result of that. We think the number was somewhere on the order of seven and there may have been some wounded as well. The attack was occurring from two sides, and there was clear observation of men with weapons involved in firing on the building during the time. The rest of it remains to be examined in detail, and we know the Marine commander and Special Operations commander went to the scene shortly thereafter. They've done their initial assessments and further investigation is under way and we'll put that out." STORYLINE: Angry residents of the northern city of Mosul on Wednesday accused US forces of opening fire on civilians and killing or injuring several on Tuesday. Several of the injured accused American troops of firing at them from rooftops. A Marine sergeant near the scene denied their accounts, however, saying Americans on a rooftop had returned gunfire coming from another roof. The Marine, who would only identify himself as Sergeant Chet, said there had been gunfire from a building across a park and that the Marines responded protectively from another building. Speaking from a hospital in Mosul on Wednesday, two children injured in the incident told Al Jazeera television that American troops had fired at them. An Iraqi policeman who said he witnessed the incident said on Wednesday the US troops"opened fire on the civilians and police which resulted in civilian casualties". On Wednesday, the atmosphere in the city was tense. Marines stood at a sandbagged position at the corner of the street by the governor's office and helicopters could be heard overhead. US Central Command spokesman, Brigadier General Vincent Brooks told reporters on Wednesday the shooting was under investigation, but that US forces opened fire after they were shot at as an angry crowd tried to scale the wall of the government complex. ========================================================================= 13:24:16 #52 marines checkpoint, Kirkuk DOPESHEET: 030416#052 Name: 030416#052 Title: IRAQ IRAQI ARABS SPLIT ARD EVN0 Type: EVN FEED In point: 11:17:22.19 Out point: 11:19:35.01 Duration: 00:02:12.12 Tape ID 6185 Dopesheet Date Shot: 15-APR-2003 Location: KIRKUK Country: IRAQ Sound: NATURAL Language: Source: DEARD Restrictions: Web Use Restricted: N Dopesheet: American forces have controlled the Kurdish city of Kirkuk in northern Iraq for five days, but the ethnic conflict there is a long way from being solved. Arabs who moved to Kirkuk while Saddam Hussein was in power pushed many Kurds further north. Now with Saddam gone, the Kurds are pushing the Arabs out of their homes. One Arab man told us Kurdish peshmergas took his house. He was afraid to go there, and would only point it out from the safety of a car. The peshmerga soldier readily showed us the house, explaining the Arab man was a member of the Baath party, and that's why he had to leave.

Fisherman dragging reeds in the river STORYLINE The fishermen of the Shatt al Arab river in southern Iraq are enjoying a new freedom since the fall of Saddam Hussein's regime. The tidal river, which is 120 miles (193 kilometres) long, is formed by the confluence of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. On the banks of the river, near Basra, is one of Saddam Hussein's palaces. The gates of the palace were once a virtual "no entry" sign to the people trying to make a living off the river. Until the fall of his regime, anyone who ventured near Saddam's residence was sailing directly into a danger zone. ============================================================================ 13:49:55 #95 Nasiriyah aid, water cans, tracking shots in town, marines sleeping in armoured vehicle, wounded at hospital DOPESHEET: 030416#095 Name: 030416#095 Title: IRAQ NASSARIAH SPLIT ZDF EVNW Type: EVN FEED In point: 14:17:50.19 Out point: 14:20:36.21 Duration: 00:02:46.02 Tape ID 6194 Dopesheet Date Shot: 15-APR-2003 Location: NASSARIYEH Country: IRAQ Sound: NATURAL Language: Source: DEZDF Restrictions: Web Use Restricted: N Dopesheet: Roundup on the political, economic and humanitarian situation in the city of Nasiriyah, where Jay Garner, the man U.S.-President Bush has named to head an interim administration, and vs Iraqi opposition groups tried to develop an Iraqi postwar-regime yesterday. But bargaining on the future of Iraq was quite tough - a democratic Iraqi state is still far away. Significant for the difficult political and economic situation is life in Nasiriyah itself. Shopkeepers and businessmen are still terrified by lootings taking place in the last days. Therefore nearly all shops are still closed. It appears almost absurd that petrol is a rare good in a country, which has one of the world's biggest oil wells. And still dramatic is the humanitarian situation. Who wants to survive has to improvise: People are dashing around for many days and are searching desperately for food, drinking water and petrol. Nasiriyah's hospital is crowded by many wounded and ill people waiting urgently for medicines. Capacities are nearly exhausted. Around 700 persons are taken to Nasiriyah's central hospital every day. Most hospitals are short of running water. They need fuel for the generators to generate electricity and for water to be pumped and sewage to be removed. Many Iraqi medical facilities have been damaged by conflict or looting and must be repaired and kept clean.
