16 year old, Farris Hassan, from Florida US, decided after attending an immersion journalism highschool class, that it would be a good idea to go to Iraq over Christmas break.
Naturally he didn't mention this to his parents, Iraq born, but who've lived in the US for the last 35 years.
[quote]Traveling on his own in a land where insurgents and jihadists have kidnapped more than 400 foreigners, killing at least 39 of them, Hassan walked straight into a death zone. On Monday, his first full day in Iraq, six vehicle bombs exploded in Baghdad, killing five people and wounding more than 40.[/quote]
