Picture of the Day - 3

An Iraqi soldier stands next to the body of a boy on the eastern side of the Tigris River in the Zafraniyah area, in southern Baghdad, February 23, 2007. The boy was killed and two other boys wounded as U.S. soldiers searched for two suspected insurgents thought to be armed, who were seen crossing the river in a boat, a Reuters photographer said. The photographer together with a U.S.-Iraqi patrol he was embedded with, arrived on the scene after hearing gunfire for around 15 minutes and two explosions. It was unclear who fired the shot that killed the boy. REUTERS/Carlos Barria
