'I Pretended to Be Dead.' Girl, 12, was sole survivor when fer family was killed [by US terrorists] in Haditha; Congressman says 'mass murder' was covered up 28 May 2006 After a small group of Marines stormed the Younis family home in Haditha last November, everybody inside was killed -- except one person. ABC News has obtained an interview with the sole survivor, 12-year-old Safa Younis. The interview was done by a local Iraqi journalism student about one week after the killings on Nov. 19, 2005. ...The interviewer asks, "What did the American soldiers do when they broke into the house?" "They knocked at the door," Younis says. "My father went to open it, they shot him dead from behind the door, and then they shot him again after they opened the door." She describes hearing the Marines go through the rest of the house, shooting and setting off a grenade before getting to the bedroom where she was with her mother and siblings. "Then comes one American soldier and shot [at] us all," she says. "I pretended to be dead; and he did not know about me."
