US Soldiers Fire At Unarmed Iraqi Civilians

Witness To A war Crime - US Soldiers Shoot At Unarmed Civilians

1/5 Marines In Ramadi, Iraq

A unit of US Marines are firing at a target (which isn't observable to me) in their kill-zone, as they continue to do so, two Iraqi cars happen to accidentally drive through that kill-zone.

The Marines, then intentionally targeted those cars, which were subsequently hit and disabled.

One car slams into a pole in front of a building, and it's occupant scrambles into one of the targeted buildings, seeking sanctuary.

The other, veers off into a side street (you can observe that there were two bodies laying in the side street, as the car came to a full stop between both bidoes).

The following is a partial dialogue between the Marines:
"Wooo-Hooooo!...Was it worth it or what?"

"Dude. Look. We f--ked up all those people, and the sh-t down there."

"Dude. Those two people, who pull up in the white car. I shot that dude in the white car, right into the f--king building."

"...That sniper around here..."

"Did you get that on record?"

At the end of the tape, a message reads: "Filmed by Doc - No unarmed people were hurt during the shooting."

Although that unit was allegedly targeting a sniper, the fact remains that they deliberately targeted two civilian cars that happened to pass through their kill-zone.

And, they didn't even attempt to avoid shooting them. On the contrary, they deliberately targeted them, and gloated about it after the shooting stopped.
