Mr. Speaker, at the NATO briefings this morning the pilot who was involved in this tragic incident described what happened.
He saw a number of villages being set on fire and destroyed. They reacted to that. A convoy with military vehicles was perceived to be responsible and they attacked it to try to stop the destruction. Unfortunately, those military vehicles also contained refugees.
It is a very regrettable accident and NATO authorities are putting in place measures to make sure it does not happen again.
