The Statesman: Nato airstrike kills five Afghan soldiers: "The deaths are likely to worsen already fraught relations between the US-led Nato coalition and President Hamid Karzai, who has often seized on botched airstrikes to launch bitter criticism of the international military effort in Afghanistan.
“At 3:30 a.m. this morning, due to a Nato airstrike in Charkh district, Logar province, five service members of the Afghan national army were martyred and eight others were wounded,” defence ministry spokesman Zahir Azimi said on his Twitter account."
The Nato statement said they 'vowed to avoid future mistakes' which will cause hollow laughter across Afghanistan. They also said they would 'launch an inquiry'. Another inquiry in a long line of inquiries which are never heard of again.
