90 Afghan Civilians, Including 60 Children, Died in US Attack

Sent to Khmerization by Ong-thu N

In Afghanistan, a UN probe has backed claims of a massive civilian death toll from a US air strike last Thursday. The UN mission in Kabul says investigators found some ninety civilians, including sixty children, were killed in the attack. There are concerns the toll could mount once the rubble is cleared. The slain children were said to be between the ages of three months and sixteen years old. All died while they slept. Another fifteen people were injured. If confirmed, the strike would be the deadliest known US attack on Afghan civilians since the invasion of 2001. The Pentagon says it’s investigating after initially claiming twenty-five militants and five civilians were killed.
