More dead civilians

<quotes>

KABUL, Afghanistan -  Afghanistan's president has ordered an investigation
into allegations that missiles from U.S. helicopters struck civilians,
though the Ministry of Defense said Sunday that the attack killed or wounded
20 militants.

President Hamid Karzai ordered the defense and interior ministries, as well
as local government officials, to investigate Friday's attack in eastern
Afghanistan.

Karzai's statement quoted allegations from Gov. Tamin Nuristani, the
governor of Nuristan province, as saying that 15 civilians were killed and
seven wounded.

The U.S.-led coalition insists those killed were militants who had
previously attacked a NATO base with mortars. Despite Nuristani's claims, a
coalition statement said there are "no official reports of non-combatant
injuries or casualties."

Meanwhile, the chief government official in the Deh Bala district of
Nangarhar province said villagers reported that between 30 and 35 people
walking in a group toward a wedding were killed in a bombing early Sunday.
Up to 10 others were wounded, he said.

Haji Amishah Gul said the group was hit while resting in the shadow of a
mountain. Those killed included men, women and children, he said.

More American lies ? It's always interesting to see the US and NATO hide
behind the lack of "official reports" - if we aren't told on the right form
in the right way we simply ignore it and re-iterate our own version;
everyone killed is a terrorist until proved otherwise. Luckily for the US
and NATO, dead civilians don't talk, and many of the children killed are too
young to anyway.
