Three killed in US terror drone attack in Afghanistan
[Iran Press TV] At least three civilians have been killed in a US liquidation drone attack in Afghanistan.The According to reports, Afghan authorities have begun an investigation into the incident. Civilian casualties from US-led attacks have been a serious bone of contention between Kabul and Washington. The US carries out "assassinations" through drone strikes in several Moslem nations such as Yemen, Pakistain, Afghanistan and Somalia. Washington claims the targets of the drone attacks are bully boys, but local officials and witnesses maintain that civilians have been the main victims of the attacks over the past few years. The Afghan people and the country's officials have protested against the civilian casualties on numerous occasions, but the US drone attacks continue unabated. The United Nations ...where theory meets practice and practice loses... and several human rights ...which are often intentionally defined so widely as to be meaningless... organizations have identified the US as the world's number one user of "assassinations," largely due to its drone attacks in Pakistain and Afghanistan.
