"Afghanistan: NATO Mortar Kills Child"
An Afghan girl was killed and two other children were wounded when a NATO mortar fell short of its target in eastern Kunar Province and hit a house, a NATO spokesman said. The mortar was one of five rounds that NATO troops had fired toward a site where they had been attacked before. The spokesman said the wounded children, 7-year-old girls, were taken to Bagram Air Base, where they were described as stable. Earlier this month, NATO forces killed up to 20 civilians during operations in the southern provinces of Kandahar and Helmand (New York Times October 25, 2006)."
What, were they firing blindly?
And NOTHING CHANGES, even after a YEAR, huh, readers?
Except that more Afghanis are DEAD!] "
