British Soldiers Accused of Killing Afghan Boys

Military claims they were "Taliban targets"

The UK government has been asked to launch a probe into the death of four Afghan boys allegedly shot dead by UK soldiers. The MoD claimed the boys were 'Taliban targets,' while witnesses said they were shot in their home while drinking tea.

The UK Ministry of Defense confirmed it received a letter from a law firm writing on behalf of one of the victims' brothers, which outlined the allegations and called for an investigation.
