“‘This video is […] gun film footage from a US Air Force F-16 fighter.
The mission was not ‘recent’, it was in April 2004. This was a close air
support mission, flown by an F-16 Fighting Falcon in the Fallujah vicinity,
and under the control of a Joint Terminal Attack Controller serving with
ground forces in the area. The JTAC designated the target and confirmed the
hit.’ The confirmed hit happens
incredibly quickly, just 32 seconds from the pilot telling ground control
he's seen the crowd to the deaths of thirty or so people. […] “As Fallujah again comes into US gun sights many will want to know who
were these people? Insurgents? Innocents? Running away from trouble? running
to attack? […] The Pentagon says its chasing answers but has yet to explain
why these people were targeted. […]” Excerpt of an
“Independent” article
from October 6th, 2004. |
