WikiLeaks, the whistle-blower website that made headlines in April when it released a classified video of a US army helicopter firing on civilians in Iraq, is preparing to release a new video, this time showing a deadly US airstrike in Afghanistan in 2009, the Guardian reports.

According to the Daily Beast's Philip Shenon, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange disclosed his plan to release the video in an email sent to the site's supporters this week. Word of the existence of the video also surfaced earlier this month after a U.S. army intelligence analyst who was arrested in connection with the Iraq WikiLeaks video claimed he had also leaked the Afghanistan video to the website. WikiLeaks' intention to release the video was mentioned as early as April in an article in the London Times.
