From ISAF's own press release it is clear, that this was a joint operation. ANA gunmen acted together with coalition forces in this botched night raid. It is not clear, who shot the 5 people. ISAF does not state from which nation the coalition soldiers originated. The troops also failed to indentify themselves. Whatever the circumstances are, ISAF forces were certainly involved in the cover-up.

The journalists on the ground reported the following (emphasize mine):

More than a dozen survivors, officials, police chiefs and a religious leader interviewed at and around the scene of the attack maintain that the perpetrators were US and Afghan gunmen. Afghan-international” force but, despite new rules requiring them to leave leaflets identifying their unit, the family said they left nothing.

As a side note to the Canadian affair in Somalia, to which you refer...the principals were tried, the unit disbanded and the members scattered. It did not go un-noticed. Convictions didn't go far up the ranks...no surprise there, but the scata was smeared pretty thick. en.wikipedia.org...

Of course an incident such as this current one was not 'policy'. But the principals should be held to account...if only for the sake of those troops who are doing it right.
