HATRA RUINS — Col. Ra'ad, 2nd Battalion, 3rd Brigade, 2nd Division Iraqi army commander, leads American soldiers through one of the few excavated areas in the Hatra ruins in Hatra, Iraq, July 14, 2006. Ra'ad, whose brother-in-law worked on the site in the 1970s, gave his endorsement to build a protective fence around the 2,000-year-old site to keep out looters. U.S. Marine Corps photo by Sgt.
