Afghan girl killed by Royal Air Force leaflet drop

Afghan girl killed by Royal Air Force leaflet drop: "

Over at Wired's Danger Room blog, news that

The Royal Air Force accidentally killed a young girl in Afghanistan -- by dropping a box of leaflets on her. The British
Ministry of Defence is carrying out a full investigation. Meanwhile,
the seemingly-antiquated practice of leaflet bombing continues. In the
21st century, it remains one of the primary tools of psychological
warfare; U.S. Special Operations Command is even looking to build
leaflet-carrying missiles.
