Yes, it's all *their* fault
[from the BBC website]
After a voice on the transmission urges the pilot to "light 'em all up", the individuals on the street are shot by the gunship's cannon.
A few minutes later a van drives to the scene, and its occupants appear to start picking up a wounded person.
It, too, is fired upon. Altogether, around 12 people die.
The transmission continues: "Looks like we've got some slight movement from the van that was engaged. Looks like a kid."
US soldiers on the ground establish there are two child casualties and agree to take them to a hospital, according to the transmission.
"Well it's their fault for bringing their kids into a battle," says a voice.
Two journalists working for Reuters were killed on the day the incident took place in July 2007.
