Very tragic for the families and friends and for the chap throwing them out the back.

on another note, notice why they do it:-
"The MoD would not comment on what type of leaflet was involved, but past leaflets have included information about the election campaign, mine awareness campaigns, and warnings of impending military action in an area "

Talk about telling the enemy when and where you are about to attack, no wonder they lay in wait with IED's and ambushes!

Rich,

That pre-warning of leaflet and radio broadcast is for large offensive operations in areas where civilian populace reside. Professional forces have a duty of care to warn and protect civilians. The leaflets will inform civilians to stay indoors and out of the way. The last thing that Coalition forces want is large numbers of civilians going about their normal routine and getting in the way.
