Documented video evidence of war crime
While the US frantically attempts to delude and misdirect the publics attention from the absence of weapons of mass destruction to supposed "mass graves" in Iraq , actual mass graves are appearing in Afghanistan far from the glare of the worlds media.
A new video shows clear evidence of US complicity in the killing of up to 3000 Taliban prisoners in Konduz or as they were "transported" in steel truck containers from Konduz to a prison at Sheberghan.
One mass grave containing an estimated 500 bodies was seen and reported by Maggie O'Kane of RTE some time ago but she said that it had to be sealed quickly and reporters had to leave the site immediately for their own safety .
US special forces were in charge of the Northern Alliance killers as they systematically suffocated Taliban prisoners in lots of 40 in steel containers and escorted the bodies to mass graves . Suffocation in containers has been a traditional torture/death tool used by the Northern Alliance and clearly the US special forces were complicit if not instrumental in these massacres.
AFGHAN MASSACRE Convoy of Death by Scottish journalist Jamie Doran will not be shown on any US network and the events are denied by the Pentagon. I wonder will RTE show it?
Our Irish soldiers are now serving in a base along with these US "Special Forces" in Bhagram.
