BAGRAM AIR FIELD, Afghanistan (16 July 2008) – A coalition convoy on a routine patrol yesterday in Bakwa, Farah province came under sustained attack from machine gun and indirect fire from a number of houses adjacent to the road. The coalition convoy returned fire and called for close air support on the enemy positions. A house was hit; eight civilians were killed, two others injured. Coalition forces never intentionally target non-combatants, and deeply regret any occurrence such as this where civilians are killed and injured as a result of insurgent activity and actions. The incident is under investigation. |
