Troops to undergo new training, says US
The United States will order all its troops in Afghanistan to undergo new training after concluding that pilots violated orders in air strikes last month that it accepts may have killed as many as 86 civilians.
In a long awaited report, released six weeks after U.S. B1 bombers killed lareg number of civilians unleashing fury among Afghans, the Pentagon acknowledged that rules had not been followed, although it said the mistakes fell short of breaking the law. The bombings took place on May 4 in Western Afghanistan after a day-long battle that saw Afghan security forces ambushed by Taliban fighters and U.S. Marines come to their aid.
After nightfall, B1 bombers observed groups of people moving into two houses and a mosque. Pilots concluded they were fighters and bombed the buildings. However, the report said pilots broke guidelines by striking without checking whether civilians were in the buildings. The strikes, “while complying with the law of armed conflict diod not adhere to all of the specific guidance and Commander’s Intent contained in the controlling directive. Not applying all of that guidance likely resulted in civilian casualities” it said.
