KABUL, Afghanistan — Nine boys collecting firewood to heat their
homes in the eastern Afghanistan mountains were killed by NATO helicopter
gunners who mistook them for insurgents, according to a statement on
Wednesday by NATO, which apologized for the mistake.

Ouch. :-?

Hmm, mistaking a boy carrying wood for a man with a rpg... nice one.

Alas, in war, it does happen, RIP to those poor boys, not the most pleasant way to go.
