On 12 July 2007, 2 US Apaches fired on a group that they claimed were insurgents, killing 2 Reuters reporters. Later, Wikileaks posted a video online and caused international interests.
From the video, it looked that the US Army had mis-identified the cameras as weapons and opened fire. The footage contains people being killed by the M230 Chain Gun. If this discomforts you, please do not watch the video.
