U.N. Calls for Probe of U.S. Drone Strike in Afghanistan That Killed 15
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

The United Nations is calling for an independent investigation into a
U.S. drone strike in Afghanistan in September, which the U.N. says
killed at least 15 civilians and wounded 13 more. U.S. officials say the
strike was targeting ISIS militants, but the U.N. Assistance Mission in
Afghanistan says it killed a teacher, students and members of a family
that supports the U.S.-backed Afghan government.
