    KABUL (Reuters) - NATO-led forces in Afghanistan said on Monday they had mistakenly killed a group of children in an air strike that has enraged the government...


    The air strike took place last Wednesday near the village of Giawa, in eastern Kapisa province, and followed similar bombings that have stoked tension between the government and NATO over a civilian death toll that has risen annually for five years.

    ...

    Afghan government officials showed gruesome photographs of eight dead boys, and said seven of them had been aged between six and 14, while one had been around 18 years old. They were bombed twice while herding sheep in heavy snow and lighting a fire to keep warm, they said.

    More innocent lives destroyed by the pig-ignorant NATO goons.

    Nice agenda there. Any chance you might condemn the Taliban killing civilians while you're at it?

    Sure, someone could turn around and point out you haven't condemned the Nato killings, and make claims about an agenda on your part as well.....

    To get to the topic at hand. There have been far to many strikes like this in Afghanistan, where NATO kill the wrong people, and regardless of the crimes of the Taliban, there is no excuse for the civilian death toll imho.
