Afghan official: Ten Afghan campaign workers killed in NATO airstrike
 Didn't know whether to put this in Operations or Politics . . . .
| I agree with Operations. A missile was aimed and fired to kill, even though the targets may have been politically involved. |
"Intelligence tracked the insurgents traveling in a sedan on a series of remote roads in Rustaq district. After careful planning to ensure no civilians were present, coalition aircraft conducted a precision airstrike on one sedan and later followed with direct fire from an aerial platform. The vehicle was traveling as part of a six-car convoy, but no other vehicles were hit in the strike."
| There seems to be a difference of opinion, but the military is investigating. The way the Taliban work there, perhaps both sides are correct in their assertions. |
