Young protestors chant anti-American slogans at a rally in Kabul, yesterday, amid fury at government allegations US troops killed 10 civilians, including eight children, during a raid in eastern Afghanistan’s volatile Kunar province. Protestors carried banners showing gruesome images of children’s bloodied corpses. US officials denied the allegations, insisting the victims were involved in a terrorist cell manufacturing homemade bombs. Officials said the raiders were attacked when they approached the compounds in Narang district, close to the Pakistan border.
