The US army has admitted responsibility for the death of two Iraqi journalists working for the Al-Arabiya satellite news channel earlier this month. "We are accepting responsibility" for the death of the journalists, a senior US military official said.
Cameraman Ali Abdul Aziz, 35, and reporter Ali al-Khatib, 32, worked for the Dubai-based news station when they were shot March 18th during an incident near the Burj al-Hayat hotel in central Baghdad.
Abdul Aziz was shot in the head and died immediately, while Khatib succumbed to his wounds the next day.
No disciplinary action will be taken against the US soldiers as they were acting in 'self defense', according to officials.
