ITV admits video game footage used in IRA film

ITV has admitted that a documentary about the IRA mistakenly used a scene from a video game and claimed it was a real IRA attack.

Last night’s Exposure: Gaddafi and the IRA discussed how deposed Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi sent weapons to the IRA in the mid-1980s.

The documentary may have included lifted footage from the internet that shows a clip from a military simulation game called Arma II, but described it incorrectly as footage of a 1988 IRA attack on a British Army helicopter.
