This is the room where my whole family was killed, says Safa Younes. Bullet holes pepper the front door to the house in the Iraqi town of Haditha, where she grew up. Inside the back bedroom, a colorful bedspread covers the bed where her family was shot on 19 November 2005, an assault by U.S. Marines that left Safa as the sole survivor among her six siblings, mother, and aunt. The investigation by BBC Eye has now uncovered evidence indicating the involvement of two Marines who were never put on trial for these deaths. This incident was part of a larger tragedy known as the Haditha massacre, where U.S. Marines killed 24 Iraqi civilians, including four women and six children. The findings challenge the original American investigations into the killings and raise critical concerns regarding the accountability of U.S. armed forces in such matters. According to reports, the Marines claimed they were responding to gunfire after a roadside bomb exploded, yet evidence suggests that no weapons were present in Safa's house at the time. We hadn't been accused of anything. We didn't even have any weapons in the house, she recalls. The initial charges against four Marines were dropped, with only one Marine, Squad Leader Staff Sergeant Frank Wuterich, facing trial, which resulted in a plea deal and minimal consequences. Forensic expert Michael Maloney has concluded that evidence suggests two marines entered the room and opened fire, adding weight to Safa's call for justice: It's been almost 20 years without them being tried. That's the real crime.\
