Hamdania killing

Bakhdida is a different Al Hamdania than the village where Hashim Ibrahim Awad was killed by Marines (the so-called Hamdania incident). The Al Hamdania where the killing took place is a small village of about 30 houses immediately west of Baghdad, near Abu Ghraib prison. The location and name of the village initially caused some confusion. As the article explains, the name "Al Hamdaniya" is a common one in the region. I'm removing the incident from this article. technopilgrim 21:01, 30 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
