Bombing at Tora Bora may have hit the wrong place
Witnesses said a coalition bombing raid in eastern Afghanistan near Tora Bora destroyed a village, though reports of civilian casualties varied. The U.S. military denied the claim, saying the bombing ``did not happen.'' While witnesses claimed 100 to 200 people were killed, the defense chief in the province, Mohammed Zeman, said he received reports that 15 to 20 civilians had died in air raids. Zeman said local anti-Taliban authorities had complained to the Americans that they were bombing in the wrong place.
