U.S. Investigates Iraq Car-Shooting Video

"BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - The U.S. military is investigating a video clip that appeared on the Internet purporting to show Western security contractors firing at Iraqi civilian vehicles, a spokesman said Thursday.

The video has appeared on a Web site informally linked to London-based Aegis Defense Services Ltd., one of the biggest private security contractors in Iraq.

The words "Aegis PSD" appear in the clips, which seem to have been filmed out of the back of a vehicle traveling down a busy road, apparently carrying contractors. Sprays of gunfire, apparently from the vehicle, are seen hitting the road behind the vehicle, with cars swerving to avoid the fire. At one point, a car crashes after being hit by bullets.

The clip is set with a soundtrack of Elvis Presley's song "Mystery Train." No contractors appear in the video and the exact source of the gunfire can't be seen."
