US Admits Afghan Air Strike Killed At Least 26 Civilians
--------------------------------------------------------



Meanwhile, an internal US military investigation into a US air strike on
May 4th has confirmed that US forces killed at least twenty-six Afghan
civilians and possibly as many as eighty-six. The military released the
internal report on Friday but withheld making public a video from the
attack despite an earlier promise from Gen. David Petraeus, the
commander of US Central Command.
