HERAT, Afghanistan, Feb 4 (Reuters) - An air strike targeting a Taliban
commander has killed seven civilians from one family in southwestern
Afghanistan, provincial officials said on Monday.
The issue of civilian casualties is highly sensitive in Afghanistan, as it
saps support for the government and the presence of foreign troops.
Afghan leaders have repeatedly called on international forces to exercise
more care when choosing targets.
The air strike took place in the Bakwa district of Farah province late on
Sunday and killed one woman, two children and four men, officials said.
"Mullah Malang, a Taliban commander in the district, was the target, but
he was not among the casualties," provincial police chief General Khialbaz
Sherzai said.
A provincial official, who declined to be named, said the civilians killed
were family members of the Taliban commander.
The NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) said none of
its aircraft were involved in any air strikes in Farah, and the separate
U.S.-led coalition said it was still checking the reports.
A total of 1,977 civilians were killed in 2007 in fighting in Afghanistan,
including nearly 240 who lost their lives in air strikes by foreign
troops, according to Afghanistan NGO Safety Office, a body that monitors
security for non-governmental organisations.
Meanwhile, Afghan forces killed nearly 10 Taliban fighters during a sweep
in the Deh Rawood district of Uruzgan province on Sunday, provincial
police chief Juma Gul Hemat said. The operation, led by Afghan police, was
still going on, he said.
Last year was the bloodiest in Afghanistan since U.S.-led and Afghan
forces toppled the Taliban in 2001 following the Sept. 11 attacks on the
United States.
Two U.S. non-governmental studies last week said that without new
international efforts to win the war and develop the economy, Afghanistan
could once again become a failed state and terrorist haven.
U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice is to visit London this week to
discuss strategy on Afghanistan.

Quindi un attacco aereo (se tale è stato e non , come scrivevo in un
altro post, un "infortunio sul lavoro" nella preparazione di un IED).
Questo esclude automaticamente la responsabilità degli italiani, che
aerei da attacco in Afghanistan non ne hanno.
Morale: quella di Peacereporter è una dimostrata bufala.

 Beh, c'erano pochi dubbi fin dall'inizio:
