As American soldiers mocked Iranian girls. The most cruel crimes of the American army (16 photos)

America, to the envy of old light, did not know the wars on its territory for a long time. But this does not mean that the American army idle without a case. Vietnam, Korea, Middle East ... And although in the history of the US Army, there are also examples of the heroic and just worthy behavior of soldiers and officers, there are in it and episodes that covered the US Army shame for many years ahead. Today we remember the most shameful and cruel deeds of American soldiers.

In early 1968, American soldiers in the Vietnamese province of Cuang Ngay constantly suffered from sudden attacks and sabotage of Vietkogov. Intelligence, conducting research, reported that one of the main nests of Vietnamese partisans is located in the village of May Lai. Soldiers reported that all residents of the village were either treated, or their accomplices, and gave an order to kill all the inhabitants and destroy the buildings. Early in the morning of March 16, 1968, soldiers on a helicopter arrived in May Lai and began to shoot anyone who came across - men, women and children. The houses were set fire, groups of people were thrown by grenades. According to the testimony of Military photographer Robert Haberley, who arrived in May Lai with the troops, one of the soldiers tried to rape a woman who managed to fight him from him only because of the fact that Haberley and other photographers were watching behind the scene. However, according to rumors, she was not the only one: several women and girls were violence, starting from 10 years. Hundreds of people were killed during a slaughter in May Lai. However, despite the presence of witnesses, the US government clearly did not seek to investigate this incident. At first it was presented simply as a military operation, then, under public pressure, 26 military personnel were brought to court. However, only one of them, Lieutenant William Kale, was accused of mass murder and sentenced to life imprisonment - but after only three years he was released thanks to the pardon received from Nixon President.

The mass murder of Lakota Indian at the stream of Wunded has happened in 1890. Prior to this, two years on the lands of the restoration of the Lakota tribe was crumbling, the Indians are starval. In the tribe began excitement. The American authorities to stop dissatisfaction, they decided to arrest the leader of the Indians sitting bull. The Indians had resistance, as a result, several people, including the most sitting bull, were killed, and a group of rebels led by the Indian spinning spotted elk fled from the reservation to find a refuge in the nearby tribe. The Indians managed to reach the tribesmen - but a few days later, the rebel group, located on the stream of Vunded-neither, surrounded about 500 soldiers armed with artillery. The soldiers began shelling, as a result of which at least 200 Indians died - men, women and children. Weakly armed Indians could not answer - and although as a result, 25 soldiers died as a result, 25 soldiers died, but they later informed the army, almost all of them died from the fire of their colleagues, shooting towards the crowd, without looking. The shooting of unarmed was assessed by the authorities in dignity: 20 soldiers for the execution of a practically unarmed crowd received hill medals.

Dresden's bombardment, which began on February 13, 1945, became the real crime of the American army before the world culture. Until now, it is not known with an accuracy that forced American aircraft to reset a record number of explosives to the city, each second house in which was an architectural monument of European meaning. 2400 tons of explosives and 1500 tons of incendiary ammunition were reset. In the bombardment, about 35 thousand civilians died. As a result of the bombardment of American aviation Dresden was turned into ruins. Why was it done could not even explain the Americans themselves. In Dresden, there was no significant number of troops, he was not a strengthening that was standing on the way of the advancing allies. Some historians argued that Dresden's bombardment pursued the only goal - not to give Soviet troops to seize the city, including him industrial enterprisesuntouched.

On April 22, 2004, the US Army soldier Pat Tillman died from a terrorist bullet in a remote area of \u200b\u200bAfghanistan. At the very least, it was that an official message. Tillman was a promising player in American football, but after September 11, 2001 he left the sport and signed up with a volunteer in the American army. Tillman's body was brought to their homeland, where he was buried with the honors on a military cemetery. And only after the funeral it became known that Tillman died at all from the bullets of terrorists, but from the so-called "friendly fire." Simply put, he was shot by his mistake. At the same time, as it turned out, the Tillman's commanders from the very beginning were a true cause of his death, but they were silent about her for the protection of honor of the uniform. This story caused a big scandal, during which the testimony of military investigators was given even the US Secretary of Defense Donald Ramsfeld. However, as often happens in such cases, there is no investigation into no, and no one has been punished for the death of youth.

In 864, the government of Confederates opened a new camp for prisoners from the novel army to Andersonville, Georgia. In some way, the dysphem built by all winds built by all winds placed 45 thousand people. The guard was ordered to shoot on the defeat in everyone who would try to leave the territory.
The concluded Andersonville had no water - its only source was a small stream flowing around the territory. However, it was impossible to drink very soon from him very soon because of the mud - after all, in him the prisoners werehed. The places were also lacking too: a camp, where 30-45 thousand people were constantly abandoned, was only calculated by 10 thousand. In the absence of medical care, prisoners died thousands. For 14 months, 13 thousand people died in Andersonville. After graduating from Ya Civil War Henry Virz's camp, Henry Virz, was given to trial and hanged, becoming the only participant in the war executed for war crimes.

In 1846, the United States declared war in Mexico. This war called Meskican, the United States led superior forces. There was only one problem: many ordinary soldiers were emigrants from Ireland - Catholics, and were subjected to constant ridicule and humiliation from Protestant officers. Mexicans, realizing it, gladly lured the units to their side. In total, deserters got about a hundred. He commanded them some John Riley. From the Irish, a whole battalion was formed, who received the name of St. Patrick. For about a year, they fought on the side of Mexico, until they were captured, surrounded by the superior enemy's forces, in the battle of the Bedbank in August 1847. Despite the fact that the battalion of St. Patrick, completely spent ammunition, threw the white flag, the Americans immediately killed 35 people on the spot, and 85 were given to the court. 50 people were subsequently executed, and only 50 separated by rugs. Such behavior with the prisoners was a violation of all laws of war - however, for the murder of prisoners surrendered during Chebrasko, no sentence suffered.

In December 2004, American troops in Iraq, with the support of the British, began the assault by the Falluczi rebels - an operation called "Thunder's rage". It was one of the most controversial operations since Vietnam. Since the city was in the siege for a long time, about 40 thousand civilians could not get out of it. As a result, during the operation for 2000 dead rebels accounted for 800 killed civilians. But it was only the beginning. After taking Fallucci, the European media accused Americans in the fact that during Falluczi's battle, they used white phosphorus - substance similar to Napalm and prohibited by international conventions. Americans denied the use of white phosphorus for a long time - until finally, documents confirming that the appropriate weapons were still used in the battles against the rebels. True, the Pentagon so fully did not agree, saying that the principle of used weapons was completely different.

Meanwhile, during the assault Fallucci, two thirds of 50 thousand urban structures were destroyed, which also indirectly indicates the use of white phosphorus, which has greater devastating power. Locals noted the increase in the number of children born with deviations, which is also characteristic of the use of chemical weapons. However, the words of repentance from the mouth of the American military never sounded.

After in 1898, the United States signed a victorious world with Spain, the Philipins, a long time fought against the Spanish dominion, they finally calculated independence. When they realized that the Americans are not going to give them independent statehood at all, but consider the Philippines only as an American colony, the war broke out in June 1899. Not expecting such problems, Americans responded to resistance to immeasurable cruelty. This is how one of the soldiers happening in a letter to the Senator described in a letter: "I have been ordered to associate unfortunate prisoners, to plunge their mouths, beat them in the face, kick, take away from crying wives and children. Then, tied, we are in our own yard to the head in a well or connected, lowering in a pit with water and keep it until it turns out to be on the verge of life and death because of the lack of air, and it will not begin to kill him to finish suffering. "

The Filipinos responded to soldiers no less violently. After the rebels in the village of Balangiga killed 50 American soldiers, commander of the military contingent, General Jacob Smith, said to soldiers: "No prisoners! The more you kill and burn them, the more I will be pleased with you. "

Of course, the Philipinals were not under the power of a superior opponent. The War with the Philippines officially ended in 1902th, the country remained the US protectory. During the fighting, about 4,000 American soldiers and 34,000 Philippine fighters were killed. Another 250 thousand civilians of the Philippine died from the hands of soldiers, hunger and epidemics. The Philippines received independence from the United States only in 1946.

One of the most famous leaders in the group of Indian tribes of Lakota, a frantic horse was the last leader, to the end resisting American dominion. With his people, he won a lot of impressive victories over the US Army and capitulated only in 1877. But after that, he did not sign any contracts with the Americans, remaining in the reservation of the Red Cloud and Say discontent in the hearts of the Indians. The American authorities have not descended from him, considering it the most dangerous of the Indian leaders and not knowing what to expect from him. In the end, when the Americans reached the Americans that a rabid horse again wants to go to the war path, they decided to arrest the leader, enter into a federal prison in Florida and, ultimately, to achieve a death sentence for him.

But the Americans did not want to cause discontent of the Indians, and therefore invited a mad horse to Fort Robinson, allegedly to negotiate with the commander of General Krook. However, in fact, Krich was not even in the fort. Entering the Fort Courtyard and seeing the soldiers, the mad horse snatched the knife to try to break through the way to freedom. However, one of the soldiers immediately embalted his bayonet. After a few hours, the mad horse died. His body was taken away in an unknown direction, and until now the location of his grave remains one of the largest mysteries of American history. And his murder was an example of a treachery, a unworthy of a real soldier.

Rumors that in the Military Prison Abu-Grab torture prisoners and mock them, went back in 2003. However, only in April 2004, with the advent of photographs from prison, on which the supervisors are mocked over the prisoners, the rumor switched to the grand scandal. As it turned out, the methods of influence used in Abu Greybean included deprivation of sleep, violent undressing prisoners, verbal and physical humiliation, trust with dogs.

Photos of Iraqi prisoners - naked, humiliated, in a state of severe stress, appeared in the American and international press. The picture at the top is Ali Shallal Al Kuisi, who was arrested after complained about American soldiers who took his property. The jailers demanded from it to issue the names of the rebels resisting the US troops. Without receiving the required information, they sent it to Abu Greyb. There he was divided by doggows, knitted hands and feet and forced in such a form to crawl around the stairs. When he fell, he was beaten with butts. It was mockery for six months. When his photos got into the media, he was hastily released. He needed six operations to cure the injuries received in Abu Greyb.

However, even after the scandal of proper conclusions was not done. The tormentors appeared in the pictures appeared before the court, but the overwhelming majority of them received relatively light sentences: only someone received a year of the year in prison, and many and many were able to avoid imprisonment. Higher commanders and left responsibility.

Fifty years needed a crime committed by American soldiers in the Korean village of Nogun-Ri to become publicity. In July 1950, in Chaos of the Korean War, American soldiers received an order to prevent the movement of Koreans - unimportant, military or civilian, - including holding the flow of refugees running from the upcoming North Korean troops. On July 26, the defendant of refugees approached the group of American soldiers who held the position at the railway bridge near the village of Nogun-Ri. The soldiers accurately fulfilled the order: when refugees, mostly women and children, tried to break through the chain, was opened on them to defeat. According to eyewitnesses, more than 300 refugees killed in the meat grinder. In 1999, the Korean journalist Chwve San Hon and American journalists Charles Henley and Marta Mendoza, based on the testimony of surviving Koreans and former servicemen, published a book-investigation book "Mostun-Ri Bridge", in which the incident described in detail. The book received the 2000 Pulitzer Prize.

But, as the authorities decided, it was too late to punish the perpetrators, and the slaughter on the nogun-ri bridge was simply declared the "tragic incident, which caused the error."

The landing in Normandy June 6, 1944 is considered one of the most heroic pages in the history of the American army. Indeed, the army of the Allies showed heroism and courage, sitting on a well-fortified coast under the enemy's dweliever fire. The local population has met American soldiers with delight as heroic liberators carrying freedom from fascism. However, there are such actions in the account of American soldiers who could be called military crimes at another time. Since the rate of progress in the depths of France was critical to the success of the operation, the American soldiers were clearly given to understand: the captives did not take! However, many of them did not need separate accommodation, and without any remorse were shot by prisoners and wounded Germans.

In his book "Day D: Battle for Normani" historian Anthony Bivor leads a number of examples of allies cruelty, including a story about how paratroopers shot 30 German soldiers in the village of Odville-la-Yuber.

However, the cruel attitude of the soldiers of the Allied troops to the enemy, especially to the SSEsov, is unlikely to surprise. Much outrageous was their attitude towards the female population. Sexual harassment and violence from American soldiers became so common that the local civilian population demanded from the American command at least somehow affect the situation. As a result, 153 American soldiers were attracted to the court for sexual insults, and 29 executed for rape. The French were bitterly joking, saying that if with the Germans they had to hide men, then in the Americans - women.

The hike of General Sherman at the head of the Army of Northerners to the Atlantic coast in November-December 1864 was an example of military heroism - and unparalleled cruelty towards the local population. Having passed through Georgia and North Carolina, the Sherman's army was guided by an unequivocal order: to proper all that is necessary for the needs of the army, and destroy the supplies and other property that cannot be taken with him. Armed with the order of the authorities, the soldiers felt in the south, as in the occupied country: they were robbed and destroyed at home, almost destroying the city of Atlanta in their way. "They broke into the house, thundering and robbing everything on their way, like rebels and robbers. I didn't have anything except to contact the officer. But he answered me: "I can not do anything, Madame, is an order!" - wrote one of the local residents.

Sherman himself never regretted that his soldiers did during the campaign. To the population of the south, he treated as enemies, as clearly wrote in his diary: "We are fighting not only with the army, but also with a hostile population, and all of them are young and old, rich and poor, - must feel the hard Leng war. And I know that our hike through Georgia in this sense was as efficient as possible. "

On May 19, 2016, the former Marine Cenneth Shinzato was arrested on the Japanese island of Okinawa, where a large American military base is located for rape and kill 20-year-old Japanese. This happened only a couple of months later after another military was arrested on Okinawa, this time an officer who, leading a car in a state of intoxication, with a six-fold exceeding the level of alcohol in the blood, became the culprit of the accident involving several cars in which they suffered Locals. The May case became a turning point: Local residents began to require the closure of all American bases, and even the Japanese government expressed discontent too, the US military presence in the Japanese islands.

No matter how terrible, the case with Kennet Shinzato is not the worst crime committed by American military on Okinawa. Same loud was the rape in 1995 by a 12-year-old girl by the American sailor and two marine infantrymen. The criminals appeared before the court and were convicted to long-term detention. According to statistics, for the period from 1972, US military personnel committed 500 serious crimes, including 120 rape.

In 2010, the infamous site of WikiLeaks published a video dated 2007. On it, two American helicopters shoot a group of civilian people on the streets of Baghdad, two of whom are Reuters Agency Correspondents. It is noteworthy that when the agency has asked government officials a video of the incident, the government refused to provide it. Only with the help of Wikileaks managed to learn the truth. It is clearly audible, as pilots of helicopters call people in civilian "armed rebels." At the same time, although people standing next to the journalists were indeed armed, pilots could not help but notice cameras from reporters, and on the behavior of the Iraqis who accompany their Iraqis, that they are not rebels. But the pilots prefer not to notice the attributes of the journalistic craft and immediately They opened fire. From the first sunset, seven people, including a 22-year-old Journalist Reuters Namira Nur-Eldin, were killed. On the film heard, as the pilot laughs, exclaints: "Hurray, ready!" "Yes, freaks died," answers the other. When, near one of the wounded, the journalist Reuters Said Shmaha, stopped the carved van, whose driver began to stick it into the body, the pilots were given the second place: "Class, right in Lobovukhu!" - The pilot is rejugging under the laugh of comrades.

As a result, attacks and shhas, and the driver of the van was killed, and the two children of the driver, sitting in the front seat, were seriously injured. At the third arrival, the pilot launched a rocket into a nearby house, killing more seven civilians.

Before the film with video recordings of the incident was published on WikiLeaks, the American command argued that the pilot went to the attack, because the victims themselves were the first to open fire from the ground. The video, however, proved the complete inconsistency of these statements. Then the Americans stated that the group of armed people was not difficult to confuse with the rebels, and what happened is a heavy, but quite understandable mistake. At the same time, the military silent in the hands of journalists was silent, as if consistent. Until now, none of the participants in the incident have been punished for what happened.

On the Japanese island of Okinawa, where American military bases are located, only fixed rapes happen on average 23-25 \u200b\u200bcases per month.

American soldier brings on his boots (more precisely, elegant high boots) land of freedom. Where American troops come, the air immediately begins to smell freedom, the water acquires the taste of freedom, and even they burn at home especially, free.

It was already subsidized in Germany, but perfectly remember in Vietnam, in Panama, at Granada, in Yugoslavia, in Afghanistan, in Iraq and in many other places where the brave Yankees were landed, attackers only on knowingly smaller in size and military power of the country. However, in a small Vietnam, they managed to get on the teeth, after which they sit down somewhere their soldiers only after a thorough rocket sweep.

And most of all, the Americans love when they don't need to fight at all, but you can safely drink beer and pester to local girls. Read if someone owns the language of the current "any friends", or rather the owners of the Kiev authority, statistics on sexual crimes in the American army. Distilled by hamburgers and foaming coca-stakes warriors rape everything that moves ,.

The number of victims among the American servicemen themselves increased from 2013 to 2014 from 19 to 26 thousand people. If you share all American bases, then an average of 70 rapes per day. Once again - we are talking about cases when one soldier or officer rapes the other or another. Cases of rape of local residents and residents are not included in this statistics.

On the Japanese island of Okinawa, where American military bases are located, only fixed rapes happen on average 23-25 \u200b\u200bcases per month. And it must be borne in mind that in Japan after rapes to the police yet less womenthan in Russia - such morals. That is, in reality, the number of raped American japanese military jams at times, if not for orders of magnitude.

Similar situation in South Korea. The total number of crimes committed by the US military since their arrival in South Korea exceeded 100,000. In the first place, again rape, on the second - an accident with a fatal outcome, on the third - deliberate and unintentional murders.

More precisely, the overwhelming majority of the murders are recognized as unintentional, because the US military is unfortunate to local courts - only American.

Cases that soldiers and officers in the United States were recognized as guilty and sentenced to real terms for crimes committed abroad, one can recalculate on the fingers. Bullying, murder, rape, the robberies of the local population are quite permissible for military pranks.

And now all this will be in Ukraine, where all new and new American instructors arrive - on the official and unofficial basis. Shuning many videos, where the Americans are mocked over the disabled person - these are still flowers.

Very soon the records of real murders and rape will appear on the network - as they appeared after Iraq's occupation. Americans without a difference, what a country around - they reasonably feel unpunished - after all, no one will judge them, and in the USA they will not condemn them for crimes towards savages.

"The gentleman on the other side of the Atlantic is not responsible for doing the gentleman on this side of the Atlantic," Americans are proud of almost 240 years of independence from Britain, but they still did not get rid of the traditional Anglo Saxon attitude towards the world around. The master's contempt, which will be completely experienced by the unfortunate girls of Ukraine, whom no one can protect against the violence of the American military.

US President Barack Obama refused to publish snapshots about mockery of prisoners in Iraq and Afghanistan.

American soldiers not only tortured, but also raped Iraqi prisoners. There is at least one photo on which it is clear that the soldier rapes a detainee woman in prison. In addition, there are information about the pictures confirming the rape of the adolescent prisoner.

In reality such images may be much more.

The fact that the pictures confirming the bullying of a sexual nature exist, the newspaper said Major General Antonio Taguba, who was investigating the scandal in Abu-Grab prison in 2004. In his report, he reported that the military was suspected of rape, but about the photo told only now.

US President Barack Obama recently refused to decide to publish snapshots about bullying over prisoners in Iraq and Afghanistan: about 2 thousand photos were hidden from the public. General Taguba, who resigned in January 2007, supported the decision of the head of state, since the pictures captured mockery, torture and rape. "One description of these pictures is inspiring the horror, really believe me," the former officer notes.

New photos concern 400 cases of bullying, which took place from 2001 to 2005 to "Abu-Greyba" and in six other prisons. Obama promised to publish snapshots in April, but under pressure from the high-ranking military abandoned this idea. He stated that the promulgation of photographs would only strengthen the anti-American sentiment and increase the danger to the US Army soldiers. The US President indicated that the military servicemen were identified, "appropriate measures were taken."

At the same time, it was officially reported that there is nothing new in the pictures. Five years ago, photographs were already leaked in the press, captured by the spread and bloody prisoners who were etched by dogs, bind in uncomfortable poses and connect to electric wires. Obama also emphasized that new photos "are not ... sensation, especially in comparison with painful images, memorable to us" Abu-Grab ".

The scandal around the prison "Abu-Grab" broke out in April 2004. CBS TV channel, and then other media showed photographs of how American warders mock prisoners are beaten and humiliated, tortured. Human rights defenders stated that torture was authorized by the Army Command, and the Dear Journal of New Yorker wrote that the Minister of Defense Minister Donald Rumsfeld was permitted to torment prisoners.

In May 2004, the influential American newspaper The Washington Post unveiled the secret testimony of prisoners who talked about much more terrible violations than those officially recognized the authorities. Casim Mechandi Hilas (N151118) argued that he saw that one of the army translators raped the Iraqi young man for 15-17 years. The crime shot a worker woman in the photo, pointed Hilas.

General Taguba previously said that in the Pentagon, his report on the investigation was accepted very cold. Ramsfeld Defense Minister did not want to know about what happened and acquainted with the report did not. The military was not disturbed by the fate of prisoners, but the publicity and the scandal around the Iraqi prison, indicated Taguba.

The CBS television company announced a film on which American soldiers mock the prisoners of Iraqis in Abu Garab prison. Prisoners are forced to engage in oral sex, beat and forced to fight with each other. And smiling Americans are posing right there.

In one picture, the wires are connected to the genitals of the arrestant - apparently, it was tortured with electric shock. On the other, the prisoner is fighting off the dog. Another photo captured the corpse cruelly beaten Iraq. But the most terrible frames may remain unknown: one of the prisoners shows that the soldier who worked by the translator raped the prisoner, and the Woman's military personnel looked and photographed - these materials in the "Collection" Cbs are not.

Creepy shots - and their several dozen - now examines the investigation team created by the Army Command for the Incident Investigation. She has already expressed her opinion: the wines of jailers are undoubted. In this case, 17 soldiers and officers were suspended from service, six of them were charged. The authorities were forbidden to show this material on television - CBS gave it without permission when the scandalous frames began to emerge in other sources.

At the moment, the name of only one torturer of prisoners is known - Sergeant Stock Frederick Chip, who also worked in his homeland, and I drove under the contract. He struggles himself, but his justification sounds not very convincing. Here are some of his words.

"I worked well as an overseer, and later I was attracted to conducting interrogations. We have criminals very quickly confirmed - usually in a few hours."

"Yes, I saw how you beat people. Sometimes we had to apply power to force the prisoners to cooperate - this was allowed by the rules. We learned the most necessary words in Arabic, but we did not want to listen, and sometimes it was necessary to push the prisoner slightly.

Surgeant's lawyer's statement sounds more interesting: "The feeling of power, faith in what helps the CIA, you do an awning thing, has affected the native of a small town in Virginia intoxicating ... Good guys make such things for helping people and justice - it is very important for them ".

The Geneva Convention about the sergeant's prisoners of war and his colleagues did not see until they were charged. Frederick especially escapes it - it allegedly nobody consulted him. However, so to treat prisoners, and indeed with people, of course, it is impossible - whoever they are.

In this and some other aspects of the case, the investigation sees the guilt of the prison administration. But it is not yet clear who is to blame more - a system or individual personality. This is one of the main issues that should be cleared during the investigation.

General Mark Kimmith, commander of military operations in Iraq, was shocked by these personnel. Here are the excerpts from his repentant statement: "We are all horrified from actions of several servicemen ... We understand that our soldiers can also get captured, and now we cannot count on what they will turn to themselves respectfully ... but you need Remember: Guelieving - this is not the whole army of the United States. It is impossible to judge all 150 thousand soldiers deployed in Iraq. "

True, General, with all the desire, cannot guarantee that in other prisons does not happen the same. Moreover, he said that several such cases (apparently not so hard) had already occurred.

At the time of Hussein, Abu Gaiba prison was the most terrible place in Iraq. Slightly managed to get out of there alive, and outside the ultrasound was selected for nightmarish stories about torture, superior to any imagination, and executions without trial. The Americans came to Iraq to stop Saddam's lawlessness, but turned out to be a little better.

It is not surprising that the situation in the country remains anxious. According to the Muslim Al Arabia TV channel, at least one American soldier died and two were injured in an explosion of a car in Iraq. This happened in the Mufrak area in Baakuba. The car blew up on the Fugas around 09:50 local time.

At the same time, the country's law enforcement forces report other data: according to them, Iraqi police officer and several people were killed, including the Americans, they were injured.

Coalition forces have not yet commented on the situation. In addition, a jeep was fired in the Basra district, as a result of which the South-Koretz died (according to other data - a resident of South Africa), which was a civilian person.

For yesterday, according to official data, in Iraq, three soldiers said goodbye to life. One - Ukrainian - died in a shootout, two others, whose nationality was not specified, died in the hospital from injuries.
