New inquiry into US killings of Afghan civillians 'welcome, but overdue' | Ekklesia:
The inquiry is set to look at the Special Forces Unit believed to have been responsible for extrajudicial killings, torture and enforced disappearances between November 2012 and February 2013. The unit allegedly killed up to 18 people in Wardak province’s Nerkh and Maidan Shahr districts.
Amnesty documented the killings in a major report Left in the Dark published last year, which highlighted a lack of accountability for civilian casualties caused by international military forces in Afghanistan and found “abundant and compelling evidence of war crimes”.
