Raw video: U.S. soldiers under fire in Iraq

Leila Fadel, a former Star-Telegram reporter and now Baghdad bureau chief for McClatchy Newspapers, the Star-Telegram’s parent company, was honored this week with the prestigious George Polk Award for foreign reporting.

Fadel joined the Star-Telegram in 2004 and worked for the paper until December 2006.

A video she recently shot of U.S. soldiers engaged in a firefight in Baghdad's dangerous Sadr City neighborhood vividly captures the dangers faced by soldiers and the reporters covering their efforts in Iraq.
