WikiLeaks publishes apparent negligent attack on civillians in Iraq video

[Jolt]

Wikileaks has today published classified US military video of a U.S. Army Apache helicopter murdering people on a Baghdad street in 2007.

The footage shows those on the street seemingly minding their own business until being fired upon. Worse perhaps is that among the people was a Reuters journalist who made the mistake of pointing his camera at the helicopter, a move the pilot mistook as a militant lining up an RPG.

In the second scene, having shot a pile of people, the helicopter then fires on a van that arrives on the scene in an attempt to rescue one of the survivors.

The body count for the day included around a dozen people, and several children were also injured.

The US military initially claimed after the attack that all the dead were “anti-Iraqi” forces or “insurgents,” despite there being two Reuters journalists among the dead.

The footage below in disturbing, and before hitting play we emphasize that we’re not joking when we say that.

This video IS shocking. I discourage people with high levels of sensibility to watch it, as people are killed in the video.

This caught my eye in the Paradox OT Forums. While I am on the fence on this one, as that is a warzone and soldiers have to take quick decisions, I'm pending towards that this is a gross neglicence that costed the lives of several innocent people.

Curious thing is also that this video is still classified, and it was just leaked (A few days ago) to an humanitarian transprancy agency called Wikileaks, which I had no idea that it existed until now, by an annonymous source. In its site, you also find many other leaked cases on many countries, including one which caught my eye of an attempt by CIA to attempt to wreck the site's credibility.

The thing which made me heavily pend towards negligence was when they attacked the van which had come to help one of the few people still barely alive after the attack.
