AFGHANISTAN: MORE CIVILIAN DEAD
Coalition 'bombs Afghan police'
Sunday, 20 July 2008
At least 13 Afghan police and civilians have died in two incidents involving international forces, officials say.
Four Afghan police and five civilians died in an apparently mistaken air strike by international coalition forces in Farah province.
Separately, the Nato-led Isaf said it had 'accidentally' killed at least four civilians in Paktika province.
The incidents are the latest in a series of controversial clashes involving foreign troops.
Last week, local tribal elders claimed dozens of people, including civilians, died in a Nato-led attack in Herat province...
Earlier US forces admitted killing eight civilians in Farah province after they were attacked in Bakwa district.
And on 6 July, more than 50 people from an Afghan wedding party were said to have been killed after being bombed by US aircraft in the eastern province of Nangarhar.

(Modified: 'IRAQ: HOW LONG? (BEFORE OUR VERY EYES')
How long can it go on?
And what feeling will be left?
When we slaughter women and children
and leaves families bereft?
What kind of reputation
do you think will remain?
When we drop bombs from the sky
spreading death and pain?
The time for gratitude was over
when the savage Taliban were gone
Now all we do is create a greater mess
with NO democratic dawn
We hear the figure for our dead,
but not so many know
The many thousands traumatised
and disfigured by the foe
And to what end?
Do you see an end in sight?
A few more years of killing…
And then? Afghanistan’s alright??
No, we see very well how it will be...
For the Afghans, NO democratic paradise
The moment we leave it will fall apart...
before our very eyes.
