SAN FRANCISCO - A woman who founded a humanitarian group to aid civilian casualties in Iraq has died in a car bombing in Baghdad, officials said Sunday.
Marla Ruzicka, founder of Campaign for Innocent Victims in Conflict, died Saturday in the blast, which also killed an Iraqi and another foreigner, officials said. She had been in Iraq conducting door-to-door surveys trying to determine the number of civilian casualties in the country.
Ruzicka, 28, founded CIVIC in 2003 to "mitigate the impact of the conflict and its aftermath on the people of Iraq by ensuring that timely and effective life-saving assistance is provided to those in need," according to the group's Web site.
Ruzicka's parents said Sunday they were notified of her death just hours after the explosion. U.S. Embassy officials publicly released Ruzicka's name Sunday.
"We've been very worried about her but we know better than to tell our children not to do anything. We were supportive and just reminded her to be careful," said her mother, Nancy Ruzicka, of Lakeport.
She said her daughter had left her a telephone message the night before her death that said, "Mom and dad, I love you. I'm OK."
"She cared about people and gave people her love and help," Nancy Ruzicka said. "I'll remember the love she spread around the world and the good ambassador that she was for her country."
Ruzicka got her start working for non-governmental organizations 10 years ago at the San Francisco-based human rights group Global Exchange.
"It's a terrible tragedy and a tragic irony that somebody who devoted her life to helping the victims of war would herself become a victim of war," said Medea Benjamin, the group's director.
Let's have a service in her honor.
You bring the party hats, I'l bring the fireworks.
...on behalf of Medea Benjamin. Google that name and see what you find.
Too bad Medea Benjamin wasn't with her!
The (Code) pink head scarf says it all.
Good riddance to this piece of filth, who dishonored the victims of 911 and the soldiers who laid down their lives so that Iraqi's could vote and get a purple finger.
Much like UBL and all the other Islamo-fascists, they'll never wear the nitro-belt or put themselves in harms way.
Military Intelligence has terrorists to worry about, no time for useful idiots like her.
"...He[r] cause may have been bad, but her courage and intentions were good. (To those of you who gloat: have you ever put YOUR neck on the line for the truth?)..."
Well I'm just a soul whose intentions are good, Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood. So there, does that mean anything in this discussion?
She wasn't looking for the truth...Marla Ruzicka was a vile traitor who got too close to her friends and their homemade bomb. The only place more dangerous than that is standing between Medea Benjamin and the cameras now that she has some blonde, youthful blood in which to splash around for the flashbulbs.
