'Report of the Inquiry into the Role and Oversight of Private Security Contractors in Afghanistan' Summary
This report stems from a 2008 incident in Azizabad, Afghanistan, where a US airstrike resulted in civilian casualties. The report focuses on the role of private security contractors in the Afghan War, specifically examining allegations of misconduct by ArmorGroup, a private security company. The inquiry investigates the company's alleged involvement in providing false information to the US military, leading to the airstrike.
