At least eight Afghan children were killed today in Kapisa Province as the result of a NATO air strike against the Nejrab District. The attack was condemned by the Karzai government.
NATO would only “confirm there has been a situation,” while promising to send a “joint NATO assessment team” to find out exactly what happened and how. So far the nationality of the warplane has not been identified.
The details of the attack are not entirely clear. Kapisa Governor Mehrabuddin Safi said the strike hit the Giawa village, and other officials said there may have been a night raid in the area shortly before the strike.
Karzai has deployed his own team to the district to investigate the killings, promising a “all-out probe” in a statement released earlier today. A number of MPs are part of the delegation being sent, and it is just one more in a long line of embarrassing incidents straining Afghan-NATO ties.
OBAMINATOR
WHO is doing bombing and why don't the cawards send in the army to arrest the supposed malfactors…. Is the USeless USA so weak that they can't investigate ON THE GROUND, in the "Village of Giawa…. COWARDS WAY,,,,, Drop bombs from the sky in farmers in Village of Giawaand…. When they bomb farmers, that means they LOST…..!!!!!!!
child terrorists no dought
Such unmitigated arrogance…the lives of 8 precious children reduced to a "situation." :Situation" is NATO-speak for the murder of 8 precious children. It is easily understood that "war is the rich man's terrorism."
Sadly true; war is terrorism with a big budget ! Fascist amerika, the world's #1 terrorist , spending gobs of budget to slaughter is destroying itself by the suffering it causes !
The problem here is Karzai. The U.S and NATO now have an understanding that such incidents will be calmed down after his CONDEMNATION! Mr Karzai the great condemnist will carry out his part of the bargain in the next several weeks.
And only yesterday NATO was announcing their 'Jabos over Afghanistan' program was "down" to only an average of 3 'bombardments in support of freedom' a day. I guess this unlucky bombardment is going to undo all the good the many other lucky bombardments have done.
But what's Karzai got to complain about? These are young Americans and ISAF people, risking their nifty futures at 50 000 feet, and sometimes a lot lower, to stop the Taliban from re-entering Kabul and stringing him up. Why isn't he saying 'thank-you America' for all the little girls in school?
Hilary said these drone strikes are not terrorism! She’s gone over to the dark side completely. Obama and Hilary are ample evidence that voting Democrat is no different from voting Republican, if you don’t vote for a good candidate. Ron Paul will end these abominable wars, as well as giving power back to the voters and working with them to clean up a very corrupt government. Ron Paul is the ONLY candidate who will end these wars and work with the people to clean up the corruption.
Even if what you say is true, there a tow chances of RP being elected, buckleys and none!
Ron Paul was very proud to go to vietnam to kill children. they are all the same.
Any nation or group of nations that kills children should be condemned by every civilized Nation in the world and every person.
To the U.S., the killing of men, women and children is of no consequence as long as there is a buck to be made or resources to steal.
How much longer is the world going to tolerate this ugly, greedy nation?
Really why worry about killing cute little children? Don't forget they're just Afghans after all, not worthy of mention. The US national security requires these blood sacrifices and I'm sure the god of money that the Americans worship is sating his bloodthirsty parched throat right now.
