| 2003-10-03 | |
Afghan civilians accidently set off an explosive inside a home Friday near American military headquarters, killing seven people and wounding six others. People in a village near Bagram Air Base were handling the device when it blew up, villager Mohammed Nazeer said.
"It looks like a guy was taking out the explosives from a cluster bomb," U.S. Maj. David Long said at the scene. "We have recovered four bodies from the rubble and we’re searching for more." "Here’s another ear, nope, sorry, my mistake. It’s a nose." | |

| #1 Many Afghans try to make money selling military debris as scrap metal I suspect this is a whitewash of what the so-called "civilians" were actually doing. The explosives are probably more valuable than the scrap metal, especially to the Taliban. |
