Death of Nagem Hatab
The serial number of this rifle showed it was one issued to a member of the unit that included captured Army Private Jessica Lynch.United States Marines who were guarding the prisoners at Camp Whitehorse believed that his possession of the rifle implicated Hatab in Lynch's capture.Major Clarke Paulus ordered Corporal Christian Hernandez to haul Hatab over to where he could be hosed off.[3] Samples of Hatab's bodily fluids were packed in ice to be sent to Germany for analysis, as part of the autopsy.However, the container was left on the tarmac at Tallil Air Base in Iraq and exploded in the hot sun.
