March Past - 1991

In March of 1991 I was a staff photographer for the Associated Press, working in a newly liberated Kuwait City, at the close of the first Gulf War. Here you see an execution being set up by Kuwatis who had decided to set up roadblocks around the city to nab fleeing Iraqi soldiers. I was asked if I wanted to photograph the Kuwati man executing the captured soldier. I declined and argued with them about not shooting him. I had a gun to my face but got this image before they shot him after escorting me out. It happened almost twenty years ago almost to the day.
