'The father of a British soldier killed by US "friendly fire" in Afghanistan has said he cannot understand how somebody "got it so wrong".
In an exclusive BBC interview, John Foster demanded a full investigation into the death of his 19-year-old son.
He said he was very angry and said there should be "no cover-up".
Private Robert Foster, of the 1st Battalion The Royal Anglian Regiment, and two other soldiers died when a US plane bombed their position'

Nato's ISAF is said to be coordinating the investigation.
Will Mr Foster be spared the shame of a denied truth?

Meanwhile, the ISAF states:
“ISAF feels deep sadness over the death of three soldiers killed in what is probably a friendly fire incident in southern Afghanistan,” said Lt. Col. Claudia Foss, ISAF spokesperson. “ISAF is committed to finding out exactly how this tragedy occurred and how similar incidents can be avoided.”
ISAF has procedures in place to minimize the risk of “friendly fire” and takes these incidents seriously.

With which it is implied that no one will ever answer for the mistake: "how" it occurred and "how" to avoid similar accidents in the future, that's all.
Would it be enough for you, if you were Mr. Foster?
