Soldiers killed Reuters man unlawfully, says agency

Reuters news agency has urged the US military to investigate the killing of one of its journalists by American troops in Baghdad a year ago. An independent inquiry commissioned by Reuters concluded that the soldiers' shooting of television soundman Waleed Khaled on August 28 last year appeared "unlawful". But the Pentagon has failed to respond to requests to review the local commander's ruling, which said the firing of shots at the car was "appropriate". The news agency argues that the authorities have ignored the independent report which produced evidence to show that the soldiers breached their rules of engagement. (Via Reuters)
