Update: October 4, 2012: A video posted on YouTube October 2, 2012, and labeled as occurring in Pakistan, may have been filmed in Afghanistan. The video posted on YouTube was removed October 3, but appears to have been originally uploaded to LiveLeaks on January, 12, 2012, with a note saying the event occurred on January, 9, 2012: Click to view. The video uploaded to YouTube displayed watermarks from both LiveLeak and ApacheClips.com, a website that characterizes itself as "the best source for uncensored military media."

At this point, the assailants and victims have NOT been identified.

Earlier speculation--PRIOR to locating the January 2012 LiveLeak video posting:

The source of the video is unknown.

This video was submitted to the UN Working Group on Missing Persons that recently visited Pakistan to investigate enforced disappearances and extrajudicial killings in Pakistan (See links below for news related to the UN visit).

The road is similar to one located in the town of Mastung. A NATO supply route runs through Mastung.

The trucks in the background appear to be Pakistani trailers--the kind stockpiled by the Pakistani army and used to transport NATO supplies. The manufacturer appears to be Hino--a big manufacturer in Pakistan. The brown Toyota pickup also appears to be Pakistani stock.

The languages spoken are Pashtu and Farsi. There is much swearing. One of the men says 'Three for one!' Source says it may take place in northern Pakistan, perhaps somewhere near FATA. The victims may be Taliban as one of the assailants says to check their pockets for grenades. (Someone answers that it is a radio.)

Source reports the Pashtu spoken is a northern dialect.

Source notes attackers appear well-fed.

Source says one of the men says, 'Habibullah zindabad'--perhaps the name of a slain colleague?

Update October 14, 2012:

It appears that the PATTERN of camouflage worn by the attackers in the video is that of the U.S. military: desert camouflage. This uniform is readily available for purchase online at sites like Alibaba.com, etc. The website camopedia.com notes that some units of the Pakistani Army wear this pattern. As far as we can tell, Afghan units do not wear this pattern, but perhaps there are situations in which Afghan military personnel wear U.S. uniforms. The fact that the attackers are wearing this pattern provides NO evidence related to their identity.
