Afghanistan : 14 civilians, including women and children die in Nato bombing, firing by Afghan forces

20,000 protests the mainstream media wont hear





PESHAWAR: Fourteen people, including three children and two women, were reportedly killed and 13 others were injured in Nato bombing and subsequent firing by the Afghan security forces on the villagers, who had gathered to protest the killing of civilians in night bombing at Tagab in Kapisa province of Afghanistan on Sunday.

Some residents of Tagab on Sunday called The News from Afghanistan and complained that the Nato fighter jets Saturday night pounded Rahmani village and killed villagers and some guests, including three children and two women, who had gathered at the house of a villager to felicitate him on performing Haj.

They said eight people were killed and five others were injured in the Nato attack. Afghan nationals including Saeedullah Gul, Bakhta Jan and Rasool Amin said all the people killed in the Nato strike were innocent and had nothing to do with the Taliban. They said targeting of the innocent villagers enraged the local people and around 15,000 to 20,000 people staged protest to condemn the killing of women and children.
