Report: Afghan Child Casualties Spike Under U.S.-Led Occupation 
----------------------------------------------------------------


 
The United Nations Children's Fund says the number of child casualties
under the U.S.-led occupation of Afghanistan has sharply increased.
During the first four months of this year, at least 414 children were
hurt or killed, an increase of more than 25 percent from last year.
International and Afghan forces were deemed at fault for 14 percent of
those casualties.
