(AP Photo/Photography Plus via Williamson Stealth Media Solutions)SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - The Army is reviewing casualty reports on American soldiers killed in Afghanistan, Iraq and elsewhere since 2001, a response to complaints that it has not always given families accurate information.

The review covers hundreds of casualties in Operation Enduring Freedom, the campaign in Afghanistan, and Operation Iraqi Freedom, two senior military officials said. It also includes American soldiers killed in neighboring countries in support of the two operations.

The other described the initiative in memos obtained by The Associated Press.
