Cameraman shooting 'no accident' From correspondents in Baghdad August 18, 2003 FELLOW journalists today accused US troops of negligence in the shooting death of a Reuters cameraman, saying it was clear the victim was a newsman when soldiers on two tanks opened fire. Mazen Dana, 41, was shot and killed by US soldiers yesterday while videotaping near a US-run prison on the outskirts of Baghdad. The US Army said its soldiers mistook his camera for a rocket-propelled grenade launcher. But journalists who witnessed the incident said the shooting was result of tension affecting US troops in Iran. "We were all there, for at least half an hour. They knew we were journalists. After they shot Mazen, they aimed their guns at us. I don't think it was accident. They are very tense. They are crazy," said Stephan Breitner of France 2 television. Breitner said soldiers tried to resuscitate Dana but failed.
