NATO Continures Slaughter Of Civilians In Afghanistan

Several hours later, rockets ripped into a house in Gereshk, a town in Helmand province. British troops make up the bulk of the NATO forces in Helmand, where they have been engaged in months of savage fighting with local resistance fighters. A neighbour of the destroyed house told Associated Press that 13 civilians—three men, five women and five children—were killed and the attack came from an aircraft. Afghan police reportedly called for NATO air support during a clash with alleged Taliban militants on the town’s outskirts. Jet fighters and helicopters fired missiles and dropped bombs. The aircraft have not been identified in either incident. But they were most likely from the US or Britain, which provide the bulk of NATO’s airpower in Afghanistan. http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=viewArticle&code=COG20061020&articleId=3550
