The whisteblower website WikiLeaks -- which exploded onto the national stage after it released a video showing US service members shooting two reporters and six others to death -- says they plan to release another, even more harrowing clip. The new video will show US air strikes which killed anywhere between 86 and 147 civilians.
The jets repeatedly dropped 500 lb and 2,000 lb bombs to support US and Afghan forces at they battled Taliban fighters and tried to evacuate wounded soldiers.
"The inability to discern the presence of civilians and avoid and/or minimise accompanying collateral damage resulted in the unintended consequence of civilian casualties," the US inquiry found.
A spokesman for the Nato-led coalition said: "All I have heard is the reports that they are going to release it." Employees of Wikileaks have said they are facing intimidation and attempts by intelligence services to shut them down after releasing a series of sensitive documents.
