Afghan=Insurgent
How much credibility do U.S. claims of killing "insurgents" have? This news pretty clearly answers the question. The U.S. claim:
"Last night we observed two suspected insurgents placing an IED (improvised explosive device) in the road. After we positively identified them, we called an air weapons team in, killing one and injuring another," the spokesman added.The truth:
"Last night, two children who were irrigating their land were hit by a coalition air strike and both were killed," Abdul Marjan, the district chief of Sawkai in Kunar, told AFP. One local resident said the dead were two boys, aged nine and 15.
