The Brits dropped some leaflets containing public guidance information in Afghanistan. Unfortunately, one box didn't separate in the air, and the whole box fell on an Afghan girl, killing her. I assume the next printing will contain information on taking cover when British flights are overhead.
The Brits are blaming the Afghan people, of course. The reason being that they took her to a local hospital. Apparently, they were supposed to contact the very Brits who dropped the bundle on the girl so she could be taken to a British facility, where, of course, her life would have been saved.
The girl is number 1,500 - give or take a few - in the list of innocent civilians killed so far just this year in Afghanistan.
“If her family request compensation, we will obviously give it consideration,” an official said.
....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
