Afghanistan: NATO Airstrike Kills 30 Civilians in Kunduz
--------------------------------------------------------

In Afghanistan, up to 30 civilians have been killed by NATO-led
coalition airstrikes near Kunduz Thursday morning. The U.S. called for
the airstrikes in order to support the U.S. special operations soldiers
and Afghan troops fighting the Taliban in and around the city. Later on
Thursday, Afghans marched to the local governor's office carrying the
corpses of their relatives, including women and children. This is one of
the family members of the victims.

Mohammad Bari: "Seven people were killed from one family. My
brother-in-law and all of his family were killed in this attack. See
their bodies here, all members of one family."

This comes after two U.S. soldiers were killed in Kunduz earlier this
week.
