RAF leaflet box kills Afghan girl
The Ministry of Defence is investigating the death of a young Afghan girl who died after being hit by a box of leaflets dropped by the RAF.
The information leaflets were dropped in boxes from an RAF Hercules aircraft in Helmand province on 23 June.
The box failed to break apart in mid-air and landed on top of the girl who died later in hospital. …
Leaflet drops have been used extensively in Afghanistan by US and British forces in the battle to win the “hearts and minds” of the local population.
The MoD would not comment on what type of leaflet was involved, but past leaflets have included information about the election campaign, mine awareness campaigns, and warnings of impending military action in an area
In May, C130 aircraft based in Afghanistan with 904 Expeditionary Air Wing dropped 200,000 leaflets in support of the Mentoring and Reconstruction Task Force.
From the Australian, owned by Rupert Murdoch:
Some of the leaflet drops over Helmand involve black propaganda campaigns aimed at the Taleban. These are part of psychological warfare missions.

Shameful.

Great – you drop litter in Singapore, you get hauled off by the police; drop litter in the UK you get a spot fine of £50; drop litter in Afghanistan, a girl loses her life, a family lose their daughter, and you get told keep up the good work. It’s not right.

Another needless death in what can only be described as a pointless war. Why are our troops still there again? Why are we even involved?
Paul Kingsley wrote:
If this happened in June, just how long does it take to investigate why a box didn’t open? What they really mean is we had forgotten abut it until the press asked about it?

TORONTO: It has emerged that five members of Afghanistan’s Under-19 side who were in Toronto to take part in the ICC Under-19 World Cup Qualifier failed to return home with the rest of the squad and may be seeking asylum in Canada.
This news comes days after it was revealed seven of the Uganda U19 squad had gone missing. They are also believed to be planning to seek asylum.
Reports are confusing, but Pajhwok Afghan News claimed five players and a coach were not among the squad who were given a reception at the presidential palace in Kabul on their return home. The agency went on to say that President Hamid Karzai expressed anger when told of the missing members.
