US to review deadly Afghan raid
9/9/08
The most senior US commander in Afghanistan has asked for another inquiry into US air raids that Afghan and UN teams say killed 90 civilians. General David McKiernan, who heads the Nato-led International Security Assistance Force (Isaf), said in a statement late on Sunday there was “emerging evidence” about the incident in Herat province. “I feel it is prudent to request that US Central Command send a general officer to review the US investigation and its findings with respect to the new evidence,” he said. His statement was issued from the main US base at Bagram, north of Kabul, the Afghan capital.
