On Saturday, NATO says Afghan and coalition forces who were pursuing a 'suspected insurgent' have killed an Afghan adult male and a child. The coalition says another adult civilian was wounded.
The alliance says a patrol thought the suspected militant was about to 'fire a weapon' when the shootings happened in the Shah Wali Kot district of Kandahar province.
A team of Afghan and coalition members is 'investigating' the shootings.
NATO also says an air strike destroyed an ' insurgent compound' in the Arghandab district of Kandahar province Saturday. Alliance officials say they believe the compound 'contained more than 1,200 kilograms of explosives, enough to make 50 bombs.'
This stinks of the usual NATO spin which follows their incompetent brutality on a daily basis. The same tired old weasel-phrases. 'Suspected Insurgent', 'insurgent compound' 'enough to make 50 bombs'. There is not an honest syllable in those phraseologies all of which have been trotted out in the aftermath of NATO killings of innocents before. The sooner the pictures are published of the 'kill for kicks' scumbags, and they will surely emerge one way or another, the sooner the true nature of the occupation of Afghanistan will be widely exposed.
The pen [spin] is mightier than the sword.
ReplyDeleteAll the spin in the world will not make this right.
The people that are living this horror know the truth.
