A US marine has apologised for writing a song about killing members of an Iraqi family, saying that it was written in "good humour".
The song, widely circulated on the internet, has provoked outrage from US Muslim groups. It tells the story of a marine who falls in love with an Iraqi girl. When he goes to meet her family, her brother and father confront him with automatic weapons and shoot her before he uses her younger sister as a human shield and kills his attackers. A four-minute video, called Hadji Girl, shows a man singing into a microphone to the cheers of spectators.
At one point he sings: "I grabbed her little sister and put her in front of me."

What a shameful act. What kind of message are they giving about their country?
