As a young boy, Hameed had barely imagined life beyond the waters of the
Tigris River, until war broke out while he was completing his obligatory
military service. His father had suffered torture at the hands of the
prevailing regime, and Hameed had chosen the path of least resistance.
Suddenly, he was caught wearing an Iraqi police uniform, wishing he could
either escape or help the U.S. military.
He decided to help. As an Iraqi citizen trained by the U.S. military to combat
terrorism on his own turf, Hameed knew that he was standing on shaky
ground. He had quickly risen to the rank of a top-level sniper, realizing that
he was poised as an enemy of his own people. With every sniper mission,
with every raid, his life was at risk.
When a horrific car bomb blew Hameed into the air, the expert sniper
became a target. Had his pursuit of long-lasting peace collapsed?
Cease Fire is the life story of Abbas Hameed.
