FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda On March 11, a US soldier opened fire on Afghan civilians inside their homes in Kandahar’s Panjwaii district, leaving at least 17 people – mostly women and children — dead and several others injured.
“The Afghan government didn’t receive cooperation from the USA regarding the surrender of the US soldiers to the Afghan government,” Karzai told reporters on Friday, noting that the killing of civilians by foreign forces in Afghanistan “has been going on for too long.”
The remarks reflected the outrage and anti-US sentiments boiling over among Afghans.
Karzai had earlier demanded international forces leave Afghan villages and an end to US overnight raids on civilian homes.
“This behavior can’t be tolerated. We have not asked for money. We ask for justice rather than compensation,” he stated.
On Friday, 20 to 30 relatives of the Kandahar shooting victims met with Karzai, where they described the mass murder was planned in advance and was carried out by a number of US forces.
Haji Abdul Saboor, an elder from Panjwaii district, said it was an “absolute lie” that only one US soldier was responsible for the massacre. “How is it possible for someone to kill three and four people in a village and then travel over one kilometer to kill another four or five?” he questioned.
“We do not want money. We want justice and we want them to be tried in Afghanistan,” urged another elder named Haji Abdul Samad.
“We want the government to take practical steps to stop such actions. This is not the first time that such incidents have taken place. Thousands of times such incidents took place in our country,” he added.
Fueling Afghans’ fury, the US, however, flew the main suspect, a 38-year-old sergeant, to Kuwait this week — a first step towards being charged and tried abroad.
The main suspect’s lawyer John Henry Browne said he is being transferred to the US from Kuwait and is en route to Fort Leavenworth detention facility in Kansas.
