From NYT: "Afghans inspect a vehicle peppered by gunfire in a March 4 episode involving marines in Ningarhar Province. A preliminary military inquiry found that the marines killed at least 10 civilians and wounded dozens."
"But almost a year later, marines killed at least 10 civilians in Afghanistan in an episode that bore some striking similarities to the Haditha killings and suggested that the lesson had not taken, even in a platoon of combat veterans wearing the badge of the elite new Marine Corps Special Operations forces."
