The CIA planned to kidnap & kill an award-winning Australian 🇦🇺 journalist in London

14 years ago today Julian Assange 🇦🇺 published the Collateral Murder video showing the killing of civilians in Iraq including 2 Reuters journalists, seriously wounding 2 children. He faces a 175 year sentence if now extradited to the US 🇺🇸

On July 12, 2007, a series of air-to-ground attacks were conducted by a team of two U.S. AH-64 Apache helicopters in Al-Amin al-ThaniyahNew Baghdad, during the Iraqi insurgency which followed the invasion of Iraq. On April 5, 2010, the attacks received worldwide coverage and controversy following the release of 39 minutes of classified gunsight footage by WikiLeaks. The video, which WikiLeaks titled Collateral Murder, showed the crew firing on a group of people and killing several of them, including two Reuters journalists, and then laughing at some of the casualties, all of whom were civilians. An anonymous U.S. military official confirmed the authenticity of the footage, which provoked global discussion on the legality and morality of the attacks.
