In Afghanistan, a UN probe has backed claims of a massive civilian death toll
from a US air strike last Thursday. The UN mission in Kabul says investigators
found some ninety civilians, including sixty children, were killed in the
attack. There are concerns the toll could mount once the rubble is cleared. The
slain children were said to be between the ages of three months and sixteen
years old. All died while they slept. Another fifteen people were injured. If
confirmed, the strike would be the deadliest known US attack on Afghan
civilians since the invasion of 2001. The Pentagon says it’s investigating
after initially claiming twenty-five militants and five civilians were killed.
