US/Nato admits that deaths of 8 boys were a mistake
A night-time raid in eastern Afghanistan in which eight schoolboys from one family were killed was carried out on the basis of faulty intelligence and should never have been authorised, a Times investigation has found. Ten children and teenagers died when troops stormed a remote mountain compound near the border with Pakistan in December. At the time, US/Nato claimed lied, saying that the assault force was targeting a “known insurgent group responsible for a series of violent attacks”.
