| We travelled to Gardiz close to the region where a French Canadian
journalist was attacked in a nearby village. The
Americans had been bombing the mountains about three
kilometres away. As we drove back to base my journalist stopped to make a satellite
phone call.
In the distance, several Apache helicopters were circling, a sign they
are about to attack someone. The sensible thing would be to put the
camera on the ground in case it was mistaken for a shoulder launched
missile.
After making several passes the helicopters flew away
from us.
Then through the camera lens I saw trucks in the
distance driving towards us with heavily armed men. Who
were they , Northern Alliance or the insurgents ?
Listen carefully to the conversation.
"What are you doing here ?" "We are filming" ! "You are
filming but the helicopter was going to shoot you ...because this is enemy
area.". I |
