Allied commander apologises for deadly airstrike
The commander of US and Nato forces in Afghanistan took his apology for an airstrike that killed civilians directly to the Afghan people, with a video in which he pledged to work to regain their trust.
In the video, translated into the Afghan languages of Dari and Pashto on a Nato website, a stern General Stanley McChrystal apologised for the strike in central Uruzgan province that Afghan officials said killed at least 21 people.
