NATO launched an investigation Wednesday into the killing this week of two boys in eastern Afghanistan by a coalition helicopter, an attack the coalition said may have been a mistake, a statement said. Gen. David Petraeus, the top NATO commander in Afghanistan, pledged a full investigation into the incident, the most recent involving civilian casualties that has severely strained relations between the Afghan government and the US-led coalition.
