He joined Reuters before the United States-led invasion in 2003. With 4 children of his own,[1] he financially supported his family and another three through his work.[3] Chmagh also supported his sister's family after insurgents killed her husband.[3] Airstrike and death{{Main|July 12, 2007, Baghdad airstrike}}On July 12, 2007, after several skirmishes in the area, two American AH-64 Apache helicopters observed a group of people milling around on a street in Baghdad. Believing the group to be the armed Iraqi insurgents who earlier engaged US soldiers nearby, the Apache fired on them.[3][6][9] About 5 minutes later an unmarked black van arrived, owned by a man who was taking his son to school. Two other men who had also come along assisted Chmagh, who was badly wounded and pulling himself along the ground, and carried him to the van. The watching helicopter crews requested and received permission to engage, and opened fire on the van and its occupants. Two young children in the van were severely wounded by the shooting.[10] Chmagh, and Reuters photojournalist, his long-time friend Namir Noor-Eldeen,[8][5] were among those killed in the attacks.[6] Chmagh was 40 years old at the time of his death.[4] Chmagh and Noor-Eldeen were the fifth and sixth Reuters employees killed in Iraq since the 2003 invasion began.[11] The Army's report includes pictures of what are claimed to be weapons found near the bodies at the scene.[6] After their deaths, Reuters screened a photographic tribute to Noor-Eldeen and Chmagh in New York City's Times Square and London's Canary Wharf.[4] The shootings, Chmaghs death, and Noor-Eldeen's death are detailed in The Good Soldiers, a 2009 non-fiction book by David Finkel.[3] Video release{{See also|July 12, 2007, Baghdad airstrike#Leaked video footage}}For more than three years after the shooting, Reuters and other organizations sought probes into the deaths of Noor-Eldeen and other journalists killed in Iraq, but the U.S. military withheld key information on the grounds that it was classified. The military also refused to release a video taken from one of the gunships that captured the complete sequence and radio communication during the shootings. On April 5, 2010, the video was released on the website WikiLeaks, which said it acquired the video from military whistle-blowers and viewed it after breaking the encryption code.[6] References{{clear}}1. ^1 2 3 {{cite news|url=http://www.thebaron.info/namirnooreldeenandsaeedchmagh.html|title=Namir Noor-Eldeen and Saeed Chmagh|work=The Baron|accessdate=2010-04-06}} 2. ^1 {{Cite news |work=British Journal of Photography |title=Photographer killed in Iraq |date=July 18, 2007}} 3. ^1 2 3 {{Cite news |last=Tyson |first=Ann Scott |title=Military's Killing of 2 Journalists in Iraq Detailed in New book |work=The Washington Post |date=September 15, 2009 |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/09/14/AR2009091403262.html |accessdate=April 5, 2010}} 4. ^1 2 {{Cite news |last=Kiss |first=Jemima |title=Reuters staff killed in Iraq |work=The Guardian |date=July 12, 2007 |url=https://www.theguardian.com/media/2007/jul/12/reuters.pressandpublishing |accessdate=April 5, 2010}} 5. ^1 {{Cite news |last=Rubin |first=Alissa J. |authorlink= Alissa J.
