US Bombs Afghan Village, Six Dead

HeadlineAug 31, 2004

In Afghanistan, U.S warplanes have reportedly bombed a village in eastern Afghanistan killing at least six people and destroying eight houses. The attack came after rockets were fired on a nearby security post. Meanwhile the death toll in Sunday’s bombing of the Dyncorp headquarters in Kabul has increased to 12. Dyncorp provides a private militia to protect Afghan President Hamid Karzai and trains the Afghan police force. It was the first major attack in Kabul in more than a year.
