A pair of suicide bombers struck outside NATO's biggest base in southern Afghanistan on Wednesday, killing 20 civilians and wounding 50, officials said, in one of the bloodiest attacks in recent weeks.
And officials and villagers in Logar province, about 30 km south of Kabul, said a NATO air strike killed 18 civilians, including women and children, along with six Taliban insurgents.
Now, this blog condemns all civilian killings and simply continues to report the truth when I can: that most of the civilian killings are committed by the Taliban, Al Qaeda, and related militants and terrorists.
There's a claim also that NATO committed some killings of civilians, but they deny it:
The NATO-led International Security Assistance Force said there was an air strike in the area during a raid on a Taliban commander, but there were no civilian deaths. It said two women received non life-threatening injuries and that a number of insurgents were killed.
NATO may not be telling the truth; further investigations will tell the story. Meanwhile, I don't hear Glenn Greenwald condemning the suicide bombing. He never does. The "progressives" never do.
