Baha Salim Musa or Baha Salim Mousa

From the news reports:

Baha Mousa left two small boys, five-year-old Hassan and three-year-old Hussein. Both are orphans, because Baha's 22-year-old wife died of cancer just six months before his own death.

Baha had also looked after four of his nephews after their father died. ''My son did not belong to any political party,'' Dawood said. ''He didn't even read the papers. He always said he wasn't interested in the war.''

"The death of my son is with me every day of my life," he said. "Today's settlement will ease a little of that pain and will go some way to enabling his children and my grandchildren to rebuild their lives."
