Study: US Lags in Compensation Payments to Afghan Victims
---------------------------------------------------------



Yesterday marked the seventh anniversary of the US-led attack on
Afghanistan. A new study says the US-led NATO occupation has killed up
to 3,200 Afghan civilians since 2005. According to the Afghan Victim
Memorial Project, a comparative tally shows the US is at the low end of
compensation payments to Afghan victims up against other global cases.
