French Tillman Case?
Nato and the French are silent. You have to stay the course and all that.
French troops 'killed by Nato jets'
" Reports that 10 French soldiers who were killed in Afghanistan after being mistakenly attacked by Nato aircraft are to be "looked into," officials for the military alliance have said.
France's Le Monde newspaper quoted French soldiers who had survived the ambush near Kabul on Monday saying they were hit in a "friendly fire" incident.
The soldiers told the newspaper they waited for four hours for back-up after being ambushed.
But when Nato planes finally arrived they hit French troops after missing their target, the newspaper quoted the soldiers as saying.
A Nato official said on Wednesday: "I have nothing substantive to confirm or deny this particular suggestion."
