125 Afghans Feared Dead in NATO Strikes

HeadlineJul 09, 2007

Villagers in a remote western area of Afghanistan are claiming at least 100 civilians were killed in U.S.-led NATO airstrikes over two days last week. The attack was said to take place in the Bala Buluk district. Residents of another area in the northeast province of Kunar say 25 villagers were killed in a separate attack. The claims were impossible to verify because both areas are out of reach to journalists and independent researchers. Recent figures show more Afghan civilians have died in NATO airstrikes than in Taliban attacks this year.
