‘Afghan civilians killed for no reason’
‘Afghan civilians killed for no reason’ 24 Dec 2011 US-led foreign forces have killed dozens of civilians in Afghanistan without any reasons, a fact-finding team appointed by Afghan President Hamid Karzai has revealed. Tahir Safi, an advisor to Karzai, told reporters on Saturday that one child, who had climbed a tree on December 13, was among the 21 civilians killed by US-led forces. “Our delegation found that a child who went up a tree to collect leaves for sheep was killed in the bombing by the NATO chopper without any pre-coordination with the Kandahar administration,” Safi said. “The child’s father rushed to the bombing site with other family members as another chopper of the international forces dropped other bombs,” he added.
