The region's health - half of all Guatemalan children under age 5 suffer chronic malnutrition - and its education levels remain pathetically low. Only Africa has a worse regional literacy rate...

A suggestion by the U.S. pilots to send a warning to those who had commandeered the trucks by flying low across the scene was not taken up, Bild said in its commentary to the video. That revelation adds weight to criticism of the attack made at the time by the commander of American and international forces (ISAF) in Afghanistan, General Stanley McChrystal, who had previously stressed the paramount aim of avoiding civilian...
