An Afghan investigation into the bombing of a wedding party by US warplanes has found that 47 civilians, including 39 women and children, were killed in an air strike last Sunday.
The attack took place in the eastern province of Nangarhar when survivors say aircraft bombed a convoy bringing a bride to her new husband’s village. After the bombing, the US military released a statement saying it had been targeting a large group of Taliban militants.
After first claiming that there were no civilians in the area the US announced its own inquiry into the incident.
But Afghan investigators were unequivocal. “I reject the coalition statement saying that all those killed were militants,” said Burhanullah Shinwari. The deputy speaker of the upper house told Reuters: “There aren’t any Taliban or al-Qa’ida even several kilometres near to where the air strike took place.”He spoke after attending prayer ceremonies for the 47 victims in the provincial capital, Jalalabad.

47 AFGHAN CIVILIANS KILLED BY US BOMBS, GROUP SAYS
Shinwari said that 39 of those killed in the airstrike were women and children, including the bride. . . . More than 2,100 people — mostly militants — have been killed in insurgency-related violence in Afghanistan this year. More than 8,000 people died in attacks last year, according to the U.N., the most since the 2001 U.S.-led invasion.
