NATO have blamed bad maps for last month?s drone strike that killed 24 Pakistani troops at a post close to the Afghan border.
An investigation into the attack concluded that reliance on incorrect mapping information shared with the Pakistani liaison officer resulted in a misunderstanding about the true location of Pakistani military units.?
