BAGHDAD, Oct. 24 - The Jawrani family escaped the gunfire that hit an American patrol a few feet away on Friday. But their luck soon ran out.

A U.S. armoured personnel carrier (APC) fleeing the highway ambush crushed to death the father, mother and young daughter as they drove home from a family gathering.
