HeadlineJul 06, 2011

Britain has acknowledged a British drone killed four Afghan civilians in March of this year. The deaths occurred when a U.K. Reaper drone piloted from a U.S. Air Force base in Nevada bombed a truck in Helmand province as it tried to target a militant commander. In other Afghan war news, four NATO troops were killed in two separate attacks in eastern Afghanistan Tuesday. At least 280 international troops have been killed in Afghanistan this year.
