Afghan baby dies in Digger firefight
Paul Maley; 13/5/08
A six-month-old baby and a teenage girl were killed during a firefight in Afghanistan between Australian troops and Taliban militants. But a report into the battle, in which Australian soldier Luke Worsley also died, has not recommended the Diggers change their rules of engagement. The Vice Chief of the Defence Force, Lieutenant General Ken Gillespie, yesterday said the baby was in a room from where a man and a woman, armed with AK-47 assault rifles, opened fire on Australian troops on November 23 last year.
