I totally concur with that. The tracer rounds were a dead (pun
intended) giveaway.

Don't know about the actual camera team, but the footage as seen in this
clip is from a TV channel here in Spain called "Tele Cinco." I oughta
know, because I watch it daily and was rather stunned by this clip when
I saw it for the first time the other day. I wonder if the American
media broadcast this in the states?

As for what the commentator is saying, he sort of got cut off in mid
sentence. He says: "The death live (as your seeing it) was transformed
there as usual what occurs daily. This occured in a suburb of Bhagdad."
Sorry about the translation, but there was no way to do it
word-for-word.

Later.
