Grief for children killed as they played

[stevedeshazer]

BLOOD and children’s hats and shoes littered the dusty soil in the village of Hutala, still pockmarked with dozens of small craters from Saturday’s attack.

Hamidullah grieved for his eight-year-old son, Habibullah - one of nine children killed when the US aircraft opened fire on a former Taleban commander. "They were just playing ball, and then the shots came down," he said.

The US army insisted yesterday that a "known terrorist", Mullah Wazir, was killed in the attack, which had been based on good intelligence. But this was disputed by residents in the small mountain village who were grieving for their lost children yesterday.

Jawaid Khan, the Ghazni governor’s secretary, also said Wazir was not killed. "Coalition forces regret the loss of any innocent life," said Colonel Bryan Hilferty, a spokesman for the US-dominated international force in Afghanistan.
