The British commando killed in Afghanistan this week died when hit by
"friendly fire" from an American plane, Royal Marines who fought beside
him claimed on Thursday.

In chilling detail that provides a stark insight into the dangers faced by British
troops, they told how Jonathan Wigley was killed as a result of support fire
from a US A-10 tankbuster called in to help the Marines during a ferocious
10-hour battle with Tailban gunmen on Monday.
