In May of 2010, U.S. Special Operations forces claimed they killed several
insurgents in this village, just outside Jalalabad in the Nangahar District of
eastern Afghanistan. But family members of the nine people killed say the massacre
was unwarranted. And local Afghan officials complain that the raid left Afghan
police in the dark. They attempted to respond to the raid, thinking it was a Taliban
attack, and were targeted as well. Local support for women and children inside the
village was prevented for several hours.
