Families of Iraqi civilians, seen being shot and killed by US forces in a leaked video, are seeking justice for their deaths.
Earlier this week Wikileaks, a whistleblower website that publishes anonymously sourced documents, released a video showing the US military firing at a group of civilians in Baghdad three years ago.
The shooting left 12 people dead, including two employees of the Reuters news agency.

But victims’ relatives have told Al Jazeera they want the military personnel responsible for the deaths to be taken to court.
Two young children whose father was killed in the attack could not understand why they were targeted.
