KABUL, Afghanistan, Dec. 2 (UPI) -- The United States must ensure procedures are in place to investigate civilian deaths since more troops are heading to Afghanistan, Amnesty International said.
"Recent efforts by the U.S. and NATO forces to minimize civilian casualties are a step forward but the U.S. government must ensure that any troops who violate Afghan civilians human rights are held to account," said Madhu Malhotra, Asia-Pacific deputy director, in a release. "More U.S. troops must not lead to more harm to Afghan civilians."
