Re: "International Soldiers"
It says in the article.
I don´t think the spams use other countries air support.The US-led coalition, helping the government fight Taliban and other extremists, said the combined Afghan and US patrol had been acting in self-defence after coming under attack from a "non-uniformed hostile force."
"The combined patrol signalled their status as coalition forces, but continued to receive fire," it said in a statement.
"Coalition forces then returned small arms fire and engaged the enemy with precision close air support," it said.
