17. yup, atrocities occur in afghanistan, too

According to research by Marc Herold, an economics professor at the University of New Hampshire, and others, American/British state terrorists have murdered an estimated minimum of 24,000 civilian people so far, including women, children and elderly people — innocent people who had nothing whatsoever to do with the September 11 attacks.


On November 12, the U.S. Air Force dropped a 500-pound bomb on the al-Jazeera T.V. studios in the heart of Kabul. Al-Jazeera had been broadcasting scenes of the total devastation which American state terrorism was wreaking on the lives of innocent people in Kabul.

The U.S. military bombed the T.V. station just before the “Northern Alliance” occupied Kabul so that the bloody massacres and reprisals which they knew would take place would be as hidden as possible from American people. The U.S. military ensured there were no T.V. cameras rolling when their “Northern Alliance” buddies strapped their prisoners to tank treads, rolled the tanks forward and crushed the men to death, while smirking -heroic and patriot - American military personnel stood by and enjoyed the show. There were no T.V. cameras to record when the U.S. military’s “Northern Alliance” buddies raped other men and sadistically tortured them to death.

thousands of prisoners who surrendered to the US military’s Afghan allies after the siege of Kunduz. According to eyewitnesses, some three thousand of the prisoners were forced into sealed containers and loaded onto trucks for transport to Sheberghan prison. Eyewitnesses say when the prisoners began shouting for air, U.S.-allied Afghan soldiers fired directly into the truck, killing many of them. The rest suffered through an appalling road trip lasting up to four days, so thirsty they clawed at the skin of their fellow prisoners as they licked perspiration and even drank blood from open wounds.

Witnesses say that when the trucks arrived and soldiers opened the containers, most of the people inside were dead. They also say US Special Forces - everyone of them a patriot hero of the highest order - re-directed the containers carrying the living and dead into the desert and stood by as survivors were shot and buried. Now, up to three thousand bodies lie buried in a mass grave.
