Top Secret video nails culpability of U.S. in friendly fire incident from March 2003. Cockpit video suppressed for 4 years by America is unearthed by The Sun.
The attack from the US A-10 “tankbuster” aircraft reportedly killed L/CoH Matty Hull, from the Household Cavalry Regiment, and injured four others near the southern Iraqi city of Basra.
BBC News security correspondent Frank Gardner said the release of the video was “deeply embarrassing” to the MoD and the Pentagon. “This was an error, friendly forces got killed because of mistakes both high and lower down the chain of command.”
At the start of the attack in the video obtained by the paper, one pilot notices orange panels on the vehicles and asks whether there could be any friendly units in the area.
"But I will not let myself be reduced to silence."
