NATO Accused of Killing At Least 60 Afghan Civilians

HeadlineOct 26, 2006

NATO is being accused of committing the worst single killing of Afghan civilians since the US-led invasion of 2001. Government officials told the Associated Press between sixty and eight-five civilians died in NATO attacks in Kandahar province earlier this week. NATO maintains the dead were militants but says it’s investigating. The news comes less than a week after NATO killed nine Afghan civilians in another air strike on Kandahar.
