Based on the story and the situation, this could be a true statement:
"Afghan investigators believe that Mr Zahir was carrying an AK47 and wanted to avenge his brother’s killers. The women were clustered around him, trying to pull him inside the house, when the second US {soldier} opened fire, killing all four of them."
WW2 'guess-timates' for combat zone losses are:
- military...22-25 million
- civilian...40-52 million
And so it goes...
