BREAKING NEWS: 76 civilian men, women, and children were massacred by US warplanes during a coalition airstrike in the Sindand district of Western Afghanistan today says the Afghan Interior Ministry. One must question how the USA and NATO are "helping" the Afghani people. The western press would be full of righteous condemnation if the Taliban had committed the same crime, but I doubt reports of this atrocity will make it into US mainstream media.

The government-run RTA television quoted a member of parliament said there were up to 80 civilians, majority of whom are women and children, died in the Coalition airstrike.
