Paper releases video of U.S. friendly fire
Slideshow: Video of friendly fire released
A leaked video in which an American pilot is heard saying "we're in jail, dude," after U.S. troops killed a British soldier during a friendly fire incident in Iraq was released by The Sun newspaper Tuesday.
Lance Cpl. Matty "Horse" Hull died when troops fired on his convoy in the southern Iraqi city of Basra on March 28, 2003.
A coroner investigating Hull's death had demanded the video be released and presented as evidence in the inquest but U.S. authorities refused. The leak means that the material is now in the public domain, his office said Tuesday, suggesting it may be shown when in the inquest resumes Feb. 16.
U.S. military officials conducted their own investigation but the findings have not been made public.
