On the morning of July12th, 2007, two Apache helicopters using 30mm cannon fire killed about a dozen people in the Iraqi suburb of New Baghdad.Among the dead were two employees of Reuters, a cameraman and his driver.
Two children were also wounded.
We have it on film.
This is the gun camera film seconds before the Apache fires on a van that is collecting the wounded body of the Reuters driver. The gunner is afraid this van will get away and is urgently demanding permission to fire.
Come on, let us shoot!
Permission is granted, and the van is destroyed.
Once the wounded children are discovered and evacuated, the gunner's reply is Well, it's their fault for bringing their kids into a battle.
Well, obviously.
