Obama calls Neda video ‘heartbreaking’

“Heartbreaking.”

That was President Barack Obama’s response to a video showing the death of Neda, a young woman who has come to symbolize the uprising against the Iranian government.

The video shows the woman, identified as Neda Agha Soltan, on the ground after apparently being shot, blood streaming over her face as she dies.
