Muhammad Subhi Hassan al‑Qubaisi

From the news reports:

Mohammed and Mustafa al-Kubaysi were inseparable since the day they were born ...

They shared one bedroom at home, one desk at school, one bicycle for afternoon rides. Their fifth-grade friends always got them confused; only their parents could tell them apart. The older by minutes, Mohammed was obedient, Mustafa mischievous. They were one soul, said their father, Subhi Hassan Jweer al-Kubaysi; if one was sick, the other was sick. ...

Neighbors spoke in angry voices about the American soldiers and the death of the child they described as sweet and soft.
