| EFL The Air Force announced Thursday that it will dismiss all charges against an Illinois Air National Guard fighter pilot who accidentally dropped a 500-pound, laser-guided bomb that killed four Canadians in Afghanistan in 2002. Maj. Harry Schmidt has accepted an Air Force offer to face administrative punishment in exchange for dismissal of four counts of dereliction of duty, the Air Force said. |
