> AFGHANISTAN: ATTACCO AEREO USA CAUSA MORTE DI 9 BAMBINI
(ANSA) - ROMA, 6 DIC - Almeno otto civili, tra cui tre bambini, sono
rimasti uccisi oggi in Afghanistan in un bombardamento aereo americano. Lo
riferisce il sito web della BBC citando fonti afghane. L'attacco e'
avvenuto nei pressi di Ghazni, nel sud del paese. Gli aerei sarebbero
intervenuti contro un edificio dove, secondo una segnalazione, si erano
nascosti alcuni miliziani appartenenti ai Taleban. Nel bombardamento
sarebbero invece morti otto componenti di una stessa famiglia.

rimasti uccisi oggi in Afghanistan in un bombardamento aereo americano.
Allora... Prima erano 9 bambini. Ora sono 8 persone tra cui 3 bambini.
Magari meglio aspettare domani per sapere qualche altra cifra?
E non vedo come citare l'ANSA possa cambiare il fatto che si sia
trattato di un incidente.

US bombing kills Afghan children
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/3297575.stm
 
 
An A-10 'Warthog' was called in after receiving intelligence, the US says  
US forces have admitted mistakenly killing nine children when they bombed a
target in southern Afghanistan. 
Afghan sources told the BBC that the Americans had intelligence that
Taleban fighters were preparing an attack from a house near the city of
Ghazni. 
A US military spokesman said they had information that a known terrorist
was in the area but they were unaware of that children were also there. 
Spokesman Major Christopher West said an investigation was under way. 
  The Coalition Forces regret the loss of any innocent life 
Major Christopher West, US military spokesman  
Major West said the suspect, who also died in the bombing, was thought to
be behind the murders of two foreign contractors working on a ring road, he
said. 
Acting on "extensive intelligence", he said an A10 "Warthog" - a heavily
armoured plane - was called in and opened fire on the isolated rural site. 
The bodies of the children and that of the suspect were discovered
afterwards. 
The US military followed "stringent rules of engagement" to avoid such
incidents, Major West added. 
"The Coalition Forces regret the loss of any innocent life," he added. 
Series of bombings 
Afghan government sources said they believed the incident was a mistake. 
But the BBC's Lyse Doucet said the attack on what seems to have been
innocent Afghans is certain to anger the local population. 
Saturday's bombing is the latest in a series of attacks by US-led forces
which have resulted in the deaths of dozens of Afghan civilians since the
start of the campaign against the Taleban and al-Qaeda in October 2001. 
Afghan officials said in September eight nomads were among 10 people killed
when US forces bombed targets in a massive offensive against suspected
militants. 
The US military is investigating that attack after initially denying any
civilians were killed. 
Accusations 
In July last year, American forces killed at least 48 eight civilians when
a stray bomb hit a civilian area in the southern province of Uruzgan. 
Twenty-five of the dead were from a single family attending a wedding. 
Although in many areas Afghans welcome the presence of American troops and
other foreigners, this is not the case in some southern and eastern parts,
our correspondent says. 
With thousands of US troops still pursuing remaining al-Qaeda and Taleban
elements, there is sometimes resentment at what is perceived as American
heavy-handedness. 
Ghazni was also the scene three weeks ago of the murder of a UN worker who
was shot dead in broad daylight in the market. 
Bystanders attacked the assailants and there was widespread condemnation of
the incident, responsibility for which was later claimed by the Taleban.

con me che il succo del mio discorso vale anche per l'Afghanistan, no?
