Al-Jazeera airs footage of purported shooting of US soldier

Qatar-based Al-Jazeera television aired footage Monday of the purported shooting of a US soldier in Iraq by a member of the so-called Islamic Army in Iraq.

The brief grainy footage, which was later posted on the Internet, shows a US soldier in his uniform and helmet falling to the ground near an armoured vehicle after being shot by an alleged sniper from the militant group.

A child is seen running across as the soldier is hit.

...

"On this morning of Ramadan 21, October 24, a sniper company from the army was able to hit a US soldier in Baghdad and kill him thanks to God," said a statement signed by the group and posted on a website which posts messages from Al-Qaeda and other militant groups.
