Brutal US Attack On Unarmed Afghans Captured By Photo

US troops patrol the streets of Kabul in 2005. The Pentagon announced it will keep its force levels in Afghanistan stable with deployments late this year of 11,000 fresh troops.(AFP/File/Shah Marai) The allegations made in Kabul follow other recent incidents in which US troops are alleged to have used disproportionate or reckless force against civilians, most notably in Haditha, Iraq, on 19 November 2005 when US troops allegedly killed 15 civilians. The Kabul pictures were taken as American vehicles fled the scene of an accident in which several Afghans were killed and injured after a US Army truck lost control and hit a number of civilian vehicles. Shot from a hillside above where the original accident took place, they show a crowd of Afghans throwing stones at the American vehicles. http://www.commondreams.org/headlines06/0808-01.htm
