Drone crew blamed in Afghan civilian deaths
None
Inexperienced operators of a US drone aircraft ignored or downplayed signs that Afghan civilians were in a group of vehicles blasted by American missiles earlier this year, according to a military investigation report released Saturday.
At least 23 people were killed in the Feb. 21 attack in Uruzgan province. It was the deadliest missile strike for Afghan civilians in six months and occurred as NATO forces were redoubling efforts to avoid killing innocents. (AP)
