Anas Basil Hamed

From the news reports:

In the garage, where the men were gathered, someone slipped a tape into the VCR, and for a moment it was as if Anas Basil Hamed weren't really dead.

On the tape, the jovial 21-year-old student drank tea and mugged for the camera, his schoolbooks spread out in front of him. It was too much for the 20 men watching. Almost all of them buried their faces in their hands and sobbed.
