BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Issam Hamza and his son Ahmed were killed in their Baghdad home by U.S. troops who say the men ignored shouted orders during the arrest of an al Qaeda suspect. Relatives said they were simply panicked by the night-time raid.

The family say they were woken by blasts, gathered in a hallway, and then noticed red laser dots on the walls from the U.S. soldiers' rifle sights as the raid got under way.

Hamza's daughter Sarah said the retired pharmacist's assistant stood up and walked to the hall door near his bedroom.

"Suddenly he shouted and returned to us holding his left side and fell to the ground," she said.

Sarah said her sisters were trying to staunch the bleeding when U.S. soldiers outside demanded a locked door to the house be opened. Her brother Ahmed moved to look for the keys.

"Once he reached the television table he was shot in the head from the window and fell to the ground," she said.

With his bare hands.

He did not comply. (Edit: Yes, that was sarcasm...)
