Airstrike by NATO

NATO attempted an airstrike against Taliban fighters in the Kabul, Afganistan on Sunday. Unfortunately, their attack resulted in the death of 14 civilians living inside the targeted compund. The targeted persons were five insurgents that had previously "attacked a coalition foot patrol and killed a Marine." General David H. Petraeus, coalition commander in Afghanistan, spoke out on behalf of the military ensuring that amends would be made with the families of those who lost their life in the attack. With continuous fatalities of civilians the realtionship between the NATO-led militarycoalition and the Afghan government has been comprimised.
