Flash: NATO promised to not kill civilians

"Lt. Col. Jimmie Cummings, a spokesman for NATO’s International Security Assistance Force, said Western troops would continue to pursue insurgents who hide in residential compounds, “but when there is concern over the presence of civilians, air delivered bombs will not be employed while other means are available.”  The presidential palace described the ban on more absolute terms, saying that Allen had “promised that from now on the NATO force will never bombard the people’s homes and villages, and that they will completely stop this act.”"
