US orders new review into Afghan civilian deaths

The US military says it has new information about an American attack that Afghanistan says killed 90 civilians and is sending a senior military officer to the country to review its initial conclusion that no more than seven people died.

The US military did not say what new information had emerged. But Afghan and Western officials say Afghanistan’s intelligence agency and the United Nations have videos of the aftermath of the air strikes on Azizabad village, showing dozens of dead women and children.
