Former POW from Kansas talks about capture in Iraq
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A Kansas soldier who was captured in Iraq with Jessica Lynch says he shot and killed members of an Iraqi mortar队 as they were getting ready to launch an attack on his American colleagues.
"They were going to shoot and kill me, or I was going to shoot and kill them," Pfc. Patrick Miller said in an interview broadcast Tuesday night on Kansas City television station KMBC-TV.
Miller, 23, of Valley Center, was with the Army's 507th Maintenance Company, which had 11 soldiers killed and six captured during an ambush in March. Among the soldiers taken prisoner was Lynch, also a private first class who has been telling her much-publicized story in a book published this week and in national television interviews.
