AP source confirms video of Baghdad firefight (AP)

Posted: 05 Apr 2010 05:27 PM PDT

This frame grab image taken from a video shot from a U.S. army Apache helicopter gun-sight, posted at Wikileaks.org and confirmed as authentic by a senior U.S. military official, shows the scene in the streets of the New Baghdad district of eastern Baghdad just after a group of men were fired upon by the helicopter July 12, 2007. Among those believed to be killed in the attack was Reuters photographer Namir Noor-Eldeen, 22, and his driver Saeed Chmagh, 40. Two children also were wounded. The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly about the video, said the military could not confirm the identities of the Reuters employees in the film. According to U.S. officials, two helicopters arrived at the scene to find a group of men approaching the fight with what look to be AK-47s slung over their shoulders and at least one rocket-propelled grenade. A military investigation later concluded that what was thought to be an RPG was really a long-range photography lens; likewise, the camera looked like an AK-47. The text in the image appears in the video as it is posted on Wikileaks.org and includes some identifications, transcripts of the pilots communications and a title in the upper hand corner of the video. (AP Photo/Wikileaks.org)AP - A gritty war video circulating on the Internet that shows U.S. troops firing repeatedly on a group of men — some of whom were unarmed — walking down a Baghdad street is authentic, a senior U.S. military official confirmed Monday.
