On Saturday May 7, 2005 a suicide car bomb targeting a passing civilian contractor convoy exploded, killing 22 and wounding more than 35 more in crowded Tahrir Square in central Baghdad, Iraq. Merely a block away at the time, the photographer captured these images of the chaotic scene, the dead and the wounded, including 5 Iraqi school girls from a nearby school who had been boarding the school mini-bus a dozen meters from the massive blast.
Bystanders take cover and try to push cars trapped by the blast away from the resulting walls of flame.
