British soldiers killed by US 'Friendly Fire' in Afghanistan 



Wow:

"Three British soldiers were killed by a bomb dropped by U.S. aircraft supporting them in a battle against Taliban insurgents in southern Afghanistan, the British military said on Friday.

The incident on Thursday takes the number of British deaths in Afghanistan since the Taliban was toppled in 2001 to 73.

A single bomb was dropped by the aircraft.

Afghan officials have criticized foreign forces for killing dozens of civilians in the last two year with inaccurate air strikes."
