There is no indication that any of them were carrying weapons.

Other then the objects slung over the soldiers of a few of the men and the object being held by the guy hiding behind the corner of the building.

And really, how stupid are the people in the helicopter? do they really think that a bunch of insurgents would be calmly milling about in the middle of a street with an Apache hovering overhead? How worried did the men in the van look about the APACHE helicopters when they came to fetch folks laying about? Did you notice the crowd of 20 or so very quickly became a crowd of only 8 or so? The men in the helicopters don't have time to review the tapes before acting.
