US troops fire on journos

2003-09-18 20:50

Iraq - US soldiers fired on a car on Thursday belonging to the American news agency Associated Press when its reporters tried to film an ambushed convoy in this town west of Baghdad, an AFP correspondent at the scene said.

Neither the two reporters nor the driver, all Iraqis, were hurt when the Americans opened fire in the area where witnesses said US forces suffered heavy casualties in a bomb and rocket-propelled grenade attack.

"The Americans opened fire when I took out my camera to film" a military vehicle on fire, said one of the AP journalists, Karim al-Ubeidi.

"The mention of AP was clearly visible on the car but they opened fire nevertheless," he said.
