An American led troop raid that left 10 dead, eight of whom were school children, has sparked anti-American demonstrations throughout Afghanistan.
The raid was directed against an Afghan terrorist cell believed to be manufacturing improvised explosive devices (IEDs). A NATO insider said, “This was a joint operation that was conducted against an IED cell that Afghan and US officials had been developing information against for some time."
Afghani President Hamid Karzai immediately appointed a delegation to investigate the raid. A statement released by President Karzai detailing the investigations findings said, “The delegation concluded that a unit of international forces descended from a plane Sunday night into Ghazi Khan village in Narang district of the eastern province of Kunar and took ten people from three homes, eight of them school students in grades six, nine and ten, one of them a guest, the rest from the same family, and shot them dead.”
The victims were located in three buildings, seven children were asleep in one, a guest and one student asleep in another and a farmer and his wife in the third building.
The headmaster of the school the attack took place at told The Times,“First the foreign troops entered the guest room and shot two of them. Then they entered another room and handcuffed the seven students. Then they killed them. Abdul Khaliq [the farmer] heard shooting and came outside. When they saw him they shot him as well. He was outside. That’s why his wife wasn’t killed.”
It is believed the attack was carried out by US Special Forces, who recently have been conducting operations in the border regions of Afghanistan. A NATO official said there exists “no direct evidence to substantiate” the claims coming out of Afghanistan.
Rising civilian casualties have sparked outrage across Afghanistan exemplified by anti-US rallies across Afghanistan where Afghani civilians can be seen holding signs saying "Stop Killing Us" and "Obama, take your troops out of Afghanistan". A US flag and effigy of President Obama were set on fire and one protester, a 10 year old male said, “We’re sick of Americans bombing us.”
