In Search of Weddings Past

by ·

I noted this last July:

AMERICAN forces may have breached human rights and then removed evidence after the so-called wedding party airstrike that killed more than 50 Afghan civilians this month, according to a draft United Nations report seen by The Times. A preliminary UN investigation has found no corroboration of American claims that its aircraft were fired on from the ground … It states that there was clear evidence that human rights violations had taken place and that coalition forces had arrived on the scene very quickly after the airstrikes and cleaned the area, removing evidence of shrapnel, bullets and traces of blood. Women on the scene had their hands tied behind their backs.

Earlier here and here.
