A US Army report has confirmed what has been suspected since last year: Canadian Pte. Robert Costall was shot in the back by US Special Forces during a fierce battle early on March 29, 2006.
The Canadian closed door Board of inquiry into the death of Robert Costall concluded last April and I blogged about it a few months later, but the details of the death of a Canadian soldier at American hands were subject to an American veto since then.
UPDATE: Pte Costall's family would like an apology.
