M Hofbauer Posted May 17, 2002 Share Posted May 17, 2002 not sure what your post is all about? in other news, in the article you linked to it says: "Also on Friday and in the same area, local security officials said that at least 10 Afghan tribesmen feuding over land were killed in eastern Afghanistan when U.S. planes bombed their positions after shooting erupted on the ground. The shooting and subsequent bombardment took place after dark Thursday night, Khost security chief Sur Gul said. He said two tribes, the Sabari and the Balkhiel, were skirmishing over ownership of a swath of trees that sit on a mountain near their villages about 30 miles north of Khost, a major town in eastern Afghanistan. Shooting erupted, Sur Gul said, and U.S. planes came along shortly afterward and began to drop bombs. It was not immediately known whether the bombing was connected to the fighting reported by Lane. Hilferty said he was not aware of the bombings, but said Operation Condor was taking place in the same general area. Sur Gul said at least 10 people were killed on both sides from the American bombardment. He had no information on injuries." They ran a news story here today which was about the US Air Force and/or Army helicopters successfully wreaking havoc on a wedding party, also with 10 casualties, after they misidentified their salute firing ritual as part of thei festivities as hostile fire aimed at US helicopters in the area. Not sure if these two texts refer to the same incident, or whether there are actually two different cases of 10 civilians each killed in accidental firing of US aircraft. Personally it seems to me it's the same story with different background explanations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blanar Posted May 17, 2002 Share Posted May 17, 2002 Looks like they changed the title of the article, it was originally "Combat Mission arrives in Afghanistan". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
