A series of frame grabs from a video posted on a website, WikiLeaks.org, shows a U.S. Army Apache helicopter firing on a group of people in a street east of Baghdad, Iraq on July 12, 2007. It is believed that a Reuters press photographer Namie Noor-Eldeen, his driver Saeed Chmagh, and two children were among those killed in the attack, and that Noor-Eldeen's camera equipment was mistaken for AK-47s.
