Afghanistan war

A NATO airstrike killed 13 Afghan civilians in the Dowamanda district on the morning of July 7, including eight women and four children. Within the same 24-hour period, occupation forces killed at least 17 civilians, mostly women and children. Two children were also killed in the Ghazni province earlier this month by a NATO airstrike.

Following the massacre, Afghans held a protest rally to show their outrage against the occupation. The murder of civilians by occupation forces, now rapidly increasing, has been a source of tension between the Afghan puppet government and NATO, and has inflamed popular sentiments against U.S. and allied forces in Afghanistan.

Despite the U.S. rhetoric about fighting terrorism, the greatest acts of terror have been committed by occupation forces, which have claimed the lives of hundreds of Afghan civilians over the past few months, including nine children in March.
