There's been another atrocity in Afghanistan with the US Air Force killing up to 100 civilians in an air strike on Bala Baluk. I'm calling for the culprits to be arrested and prosecuted at the ICC for murder pursuant to Art 7 Statute of Rome.

A senior U.S. defense official said late Wednesday that Marine special operations forces believe the Afghan civilians were killed by grenades hurled by Taliban militants, who then loaded some of the bodies into a vehicle and drove them around the village, claiming the dead were victims of an American airstrike.

A second U.S. official said a senior Taliban commander is believed to have ordered the grenade attack. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren't authorized to release the information.

Two other senior defense officials said the grenade report comes from villagers interviewed by U.S. investigators who went to the site, but there is no proof yet that the report is right.

If correct, it would be the first time the Taliban has used grenades in this way, presumably to mimic the effect of a bombing.

I'll give them a little time to more fully investigate.

could be 100 Taliban terrorist for all we know

Taliban targets civilians deliberately where is the outrage for that ? What don't you call for their arrest

Well, what Afghan nationals get up to in their own country is a matter for the Afghan authorities.
