ISO Afghan war footage

January 8, 2007 9:41 AM

Looking for video online of Afghan war footage.

Specifically looking for the July 2002 accidental bombing by the U.S. of a wedding in Afghanistan. I'm finding numerous stories about the incident but need the video clips that aired at the time. I'm also looking for any footage of public executions performed by the Taliban in soccer stadiums.

As a disclaimer, this is for a documentary and we will not be airing any particularly grisly images in our program.

You might find it in the BBC news archives (although all their video is in .ram format, unfortunately). I turned up a link to the horrific 'friendly fire' incident involving journalist John Simpson: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/2921807.stm

It's not video, but if you're looking for photos of events you may want to check gettyone.com. They have an editorial section. And hey, if Ken Burns can get away with still photos in his documentaries then maybe you can too.
