The investigative news organization, WikiLeaks, claims to have broken encryption of a classified US military video that shows two Reuters journalists were killed in an attack in Baghdad in 2007.

The video shows US Apache helicopters in a Baghdad suburb, opening fire on a group of men.

Wikileaks identifies two of them as Reuters photographer Namir Noor-Eldeen and driver Saeed Chmagh. The helicopter then fires on a van as its occupants rush to rescue the wounded.
