This blogger was sending daily report from 'Baghdad' even when he heard the 'B52 Bombers' were leaving 'RAF Fairford' in Gloucestershire England to deliver 'Cruise missiles' to start bombarding his country in about 6 hours.
His logs of observations make interesting reading, describing the lives of his neighbours and people down the street.

    In 1998, 20-year-old Raed Jarrar watched from the roof of his family's home in Baghdad as American Tomahawk cruise missiles struck government buildings close by, blowing out the windows and sending him scrambling for cover. Five years later, during Operation Iraqi Freedom, coalition planes targeted the same buildings, as well as the nearby airport and Saddam Hussein's palace, killing and wounding dozens of people from Jarrar's middle-class neighborhood.
