A wedding in Iraq turned into the
stuff of nightmares after one of the guests who was at the party
accidentally shot and killed his friend.
The victim was enjoying himself on the dance floor, when a man dancing opposite pulled out a handgun.
He had intended to let the firearm off in the air - a sign of celebration in Iraq - but appeared to pull the trigger too early and shot his friend in the face.
The stricken man fell to the floor like a stone.
It took a few moments for the guests to realise what had happened.
