Casualities among soldiers as well as civilians.

Not reported on the news. Part two.

From Aljazeera website:

More than 25 civilians, including nine women and three young children, were killed in southern Afghanistan in an air strike called by British forces last Thursday. Yesterday, the Nato-led force in the war-ravaged country confirmed reports that its troops shot two Afghan men in the southern province of Helmand on Sunday morning, killing one of them.

Such incidents have become common in Afghanistan, leading to a growing number of civilian deaths and sparking Afghans’ anger. While rebel attacks claimed the lives of more than 178 civilians since the start of June, foreign troops killed at least 203, according to an Associated Press tally based on figures from Afghan and international officials.

The truth about how sad things really are for civilians that are in unfortunate circumstances, thus proving this administration is the worst in foreign relations.
