Collateral Murder - What they've done and want to undone

This should be a bloody commitment of War Crime... Just brutal, reckless, and vulgar... 

Wikileaks has obtained and decrypted this previously unreleased video footage from a US Apache helicopter in 2007. It shows Reuters journalist Namir Noor-Eldeen, driver Saeed Chmagh, and several others as the Apache shoots and kills them in a public square in Eastern Baghdad. They are apparently assumed to be insurgents. After the initial shooting, an unarmed group of adults and children in a minivan arrives on the scene and attempts to transport the wounded. They are fired upon as well. The official statement on this incident initially listed all adults as insurgents and claimed the US military did not know how the deaths ocurred. Wikileaks released this video with transcripts and a package of supporting documents on April 5th 2010 on http://collateralmurder.com

路透記者 Namir Noor-Eldeen、助理兼司機 Saeed Chmagh，以及多名平民於2007年在東巴格達市郊遭美軍阿帕契攻擊直升機掃射身亡。

隨後到達現場，協助運送傷亡者的的小巴也遭掃射，車內兩名孩童受傷，情況不明（本來要送往美軍醫院，但被美軍高層擋下，轉往巴格達市內的普通醫院 - 醫療資源相對不足）。

記者肩背著的攝影機被認為是火箭筒（RPG），而司機手拿的手機嘖被誤判為AK-47。當記者背起攝影機時，美軍開始掃射控地中共八名平民。在場者全數身亡，除了留在小巴中的兩名孩童。


War crimes are - "violations of the laws or customs of war"; including "murder, the ill-treatment or deportation of civilian residents of an occupied territory to slave labor camps", "the murder or ill-treatment of prisoners of war", the killing of hostages, "the wanton destruction of cities, towns and villages, and any devastation not justified by military, or civilian necessity."

"Only the dead have seen the end of war."
