Afghanistan

Cell phone images are providing evidence that a large number of civilians may have been mistakenly killed by US troops operating in western Afghanistan last month. US Marines handed over control of a former Taliban stronghold in southern Afghanistan to Afghan soldiers and their British mentors following a four-month operation. Afghan security forces foiled a suicide bombing attempt in southern Zabul province.
