Court Says Germany Not Responsible in 2009 Kunduz Attack

Court Says Germany Not Responsible for Damages in Afghanistan Attack - SPIEGEL ONLINE:
"In September 2009, two tanker trucks that had been hijacked by members of the Taliban were bombed at the request of Germany's armed forces, the Bundeswehr, by two American fighter jets. The Bundeswehr believes that 91 people died in the incident. NATO stated in a report that it believes there were 142 dead or injured. Lawyers working on behalf of the victims claim 137 people died. What is certain is that it was one of the most devastating attacks linked to German troops since the end of World War II."
