Australian soldiers charged over Afghan civilian deaths

[Libertarian_Guard]

Three Australian former special forces soldiers have been charged over an operation in Afghanistan in which six civilians died and four were injured.

The ex-commandos conducted a night-time raid in February 2009 on a residential compound in Uruzgan province, where a Taliban leader was said to be hiding.

It is alleged they attacked the wrong house. Five of the dead were children.

Chances are they got "bad" intel so that they'd take out a competing drug lord or something.....I'm hoping anyway. Hate to think Aussies would be deliberately doing things like this. 5 kids though. Very sad.
