Juan Cole tells us that the Italian magazine Diario — written in Italian and English — “has posted to its web site a film of Fallujah [video, which lasts 18 mins., 20 secs.] made by Iraqis (apparently by Iraqi government workers sent in to help with clean-up) …” From Dario:

This video has been recorded in Falluja in early Janury, 2005, when the city was reopened to civilians after the American attack of November 8th, 2004 (“Operation Al-Fajr”, i. e. “the dawn”).


It’s an important document since the city was closed to reporters at that moment. This video was handed over to the Italian weekly magazine Diario by the Studies Center of Human Rights and Democracy of Falluja. …


“Falluja-The day After” shows the total devastation of the Iraqi town, the corpses of the victims, the mass graves, the exhumation of many corpses by local rescue teams in order to try to recognize some of the victims. The last corpse shown … belongs to a 14 year old girl.
