US Admits Innocent Afghans Killed at Checkpoints
------------------------------------------------



Meanwhile, military officials in Kabul have admitted US and NATO troops
have killed thirty Afghans and wounded eighty others at or near military
checkpoints since last summer. In no instance did the victims prove to
be a danger to troops. In a recent video conference, military commander
Gen. Stanley A. Mc Chrystal said, “We have shot an amazing number of
people, but to my knowledge, none has ever proven to be a threat."
