Video Shows U.S. Pilot Bombing U.K. Convoy in Iraq

HeadlineFeb 06, 2007

The British newspaper The Sun has obtained video purportedly showing a U.S. pilot mistakenly bombing a British tank convoy in the early days of the war. A 25-year-old British soldier named Matty Hull died in the bombing. The video was purportedly taken from the cockpit of the U.S. jet. The Bush administration classified the video as secret in an attempt to prevent its broadcast or from it ever being used in court. Meanwhile, the British death toll in Iraq has reached 100. A British soldier died on Monday in a roadside bombing in Basra.
