US under pressure for civilian deaths in Afghanistan
Friday, May 4th, 2007
The United States-led coalition in Afghanistan has come under pressure over the rising number of civilian deaths in clashes with the Taliban.
Afghan and United Nations (UN) investigators have found that about 50 civilians, including many women and children, were killed in weekend fighting in west Afghanistan.
On top of that, more than 1,600 families fled the area and 100 houses were damaged or destroyed.
It is the highest number of civilians killed in military operations in Afghanistan in months.
Protesters rallying in several cities have chanted anti-American slogans and demanded the withdrawal of foreign forces from the country.
Afghan President Hamid Karzai says the casualties are unacceptable.
