A British documentary claims to have proof that American troops watched as Northern Alliance soldiers allegedly slaughtered thousands of captured Taliban fighters during the Afghan war.
The makers of Channel Five's Afghan Massacre say they have evidence that US special forces were present during the alleged atrocities - in which 3,000 are said to have died - but did nothing to stop it.
The US has denied the allegations and said no Americans were ever present.
But the documentary's producer, James Doran, believes witness statements and photographs in the documentary will leave the US authorities with no choice but to investigate.
Immediately at least this won’t have the resonance of the My Lai massacre for a variety of reasons but if this evidence pans out it is further proof that President Bush’s “war on terror” isn’t the clean game we are supposed to believe it is. posted by micah holmquist at 11/09/2002 09:21:00 AM
