Poland clears 4 soldiers of war crimes over Afghanistan killings: 

Nanghar Khel

In August 2007, a Polish patrol attacked the village of Nangar Khel in southeastern Afghanistan using mortar shells and automatic weapons, killing six civilians, including three children, and wounding three others.
The soldiers said that they were responding to fire from Taliban militants, and blamed the casualties on faulty military equipment.
Their trial was the first time in more than 70 years that Poland's military had been involved in a war crimes prosecution.
