Tropas estadounidenses en Iraq hirieron a un camarógrafo iraquí que trabaja para CBS News, según reporta la agencia Reuters.

En un comunicado, el ejército de los Estados Unidos justificó el error:

The U.S. military said in a statement from Mosul released at the Pentagon that U.S. soldiers had been involved in an engagement with at least one suspected insurgent who was "waving an AK-47 (assault rifle) and inciting a crowd of civilians."

During the incident, "an individual that appeared to have a weapon who was standing near the insurgent was shot and injured. This individual turned out to be a reporter who was pointing a video camera," the military statement said.

"Regretfully, the reporter was injured during the complex and volatile situation," the military said, adding that the incident was under investigation.
