Democracy Now! reports:

Journalists from the investigative team in Iceland that released the now-infamous US military video on WikiLeaks traveled to Baghdad recently to meet with the family members of some of the twelve people killed in the 2007 attack.

Ahlam Abdelhussain, the widow of Saleh Mutashar who was killed when the gunship opened fire on a van, asks, “Why was he shot with his children in the car? They did nothing wrong. He was helping a journalist. What was his crime? What was the crime of our children who are left with no father and no support?”


Democracy Now! introduces the piece with footage from the attack on the van. Material about Mutashar begins at 15.27

Saleh Mutashar was taking his 6 and 9 year old children to school when he passed the aftermath of the attack and choose to help a wounded man.
