Afghans from a tiny village in Helmand Province’s Lashkar Gah district report that at least nine civilians, three of them children, were killed last night when NATO launched rockets at a wheat field.
NATO officials confirmed only a single rocket strike against the village, and said they attacked people they thought were planting a roadside bomb. They said they had no information about whether or not civilians were present at the time of the attack, but said they were “aware” of the reports and promised a full investigation.
Protesters from the village marched, bodies in tow, to the capital in Lashkar Gah, chanting “death to the governor” and “down with the government and the United States.”
Village elders say the slain were harvesting wheat at the time of the attack. The provincial government initially denied that any civilians were slain but the national government condemned the attack.
Well, our Dear Lord Obama can chalk up another nine corpses! What a proud record he is building in his "war of necessity."
When do the war crime tribunals begin?
what don't you know? the people of Afghanistan are waging a war against the soldiers of the international community. they are all have no right to exist and should all be exterminated by our brave troops in Arizona.
quite unlike the disgusting, horrible , cruel, inhumane attack on our innocent troops on a military base. i mean killing American soldiers on a military base should be a war crime.
and i also think that since he was against the war we need to preemptively arrest any one against our great and moral wars to protect our pure and Innocent troops from the immoral people who think killing civilians is wrong and that they have a right to defend them selves
