USFOR-A reject reports of civilian deaths in Nuristan drone strike
|
[Khaama (Afghanistan)] The US Forces in Afghanistan rejected the reports suggesting that a dronezap in eastern Nuristan province has left at least eleven people dead, including six civilians.
Lt. Col. Martin O’Donnell, U.S. Forces-Afghanistan front man, said "U.S. forces did not conduct a strike in Nuristan province on Monday night. We have, however, received reports of turban-caused civilian casualties in two separate turban attacks in eastern Afghanistan, Monday ‐ a mortar attack on a medical clinic in Andar district, Ghazni province that killed a pharmacist and injured clinic staff, and a suicide kaboom that targeted a gathering of local police and civilians in Sawkai (Chawkay) district, Kunar province
... which is right down the road from Chitral. Kunar is Haqqani country.....
, killing and injuring an unknown number of both. These deplorable acts by the enemies of Afghanistan further demonstrate their disregard for the Afghan people, whose calls for peace and an extension to the cease-fire were rejected yesterday by the Taliban
...the Pashtun equivalent of men...
This comes as provincial governor Hafiz Abdul Qayum had earlier told The News Agency that Dare Not be Named that the US forces in Afghanistan conducted an Arclight airstrike using unmanned aerial vehicles in Waygal district.
Qayum further added that the airstrike targeted a house where a number of Talibs and local residents had gathered to visit a Taliban group member who was maimed in a separate attack.
According to Qayum, at least six civilians and five Taliban bully boyz were killed in the Monday night airstrike in Waygal district.
