Could not find the whole clip or the whole story line, it was on BBC world news British news. The premise of the story line is that the American planes flies over its allies and drops a bomb on some kuridish soldiers and bbc reporters south of baghdad.

Some British people on youtube were upset that American planes dropped bombs on them and they said it was not an accident that out plane dropped some bombs on their location.

Here are some of their comments

I think it was ordered by Bush to "take out" the liberal media. There you go. In a nutshell.

I remember studying this in Media Studies a couple of years ago when I was doing A-Levels. I saw the full version, pretty shocking to be honest.

Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known.

I think the american army really, really REALLY needs to study its enemy and who and what it looks like because this is just fucking amazing, and even if the enemy looks like friendlys then at least do a low fly-by to check them out first.

If they did a low fly by then by the time they have turned around wouldn't the enemy be somewhere else?

I don't know about you but if i saw a Jet that was after bombing me fly past i'd be straight out of my car and half a mile down the road when the bombs land.

The following news article is from the Guardian suggesting that if the US followed the same protocol as the UK, such incidents would not happen. Their words, not mine.

yeah thats what those reporters did they (took off) thought that the plane was gonna come back again and finish them off, since it was circling around the area, where it dropped the bomb.

Do we think the suicide bomber didn't know of the likelihood of civilian/friendly casualties?

Responding to Al Jazeera's discovery of the footage, a spokesman for the US contingent within the international force insisted US troops acted in self-defence.

"We regret the loss of life of the Afghan civilians, but coalition forces were attacked by both a suicide bomb vehicle and small arms fire.

"Our forces returned fire in self-defence against numerous enemy positions," said Lieutenant Colonel David Accetta, coalition forces spokesman.

"We don't train or order our troops to fire on unarmed civilians, and it's uncertain at this time what caused the casualties.

"But it's important to note that the extremists conducted this attack in an area that they knew would cause civilian casualties," he said.

And spell American right next time.

actuyally, given they need authoristaion fromn a controller on the ground to open fire on ground units, then this could be ANOTHER breach of regulations. you know what the major cause of these incidents is? american pilots mis-identifying their location.
