The pass­port of an Iraqi girl who was raped and mur­dered in Mah­mudiya showed that she was 14.

The cor­rec­tion is:

This is not an Iraqi pass­port, this is an Iraqi ID card [You can’t use this to travel abroad], we used such ID since the 80’s, the text [right side, above in pink ink] says (LOST) which means it’s a sec­ond ID [because the first one is lost], no forgery here, because the stamp used [left, at the bot­tom] is from pre-war period.

PS

I per­son­ally find it strange that every­body is say­ing the vic­tim was 14 years old, but Amer­i­cans need to see the ID to believe it.
