US Bombing of Afghan Tribal Convoy Kills 65 dailynews.yahoo.com ISLAMABAD (Reuters) - U.S. warplanes on Friday bombed a convoy of Afghan tribal elders on their way Kabul to attend the inauguration of the interim government, killing about 65 people, the Afghan Islamic Press (AIP) said. The air strikes in the eastern province of Paktia began on Thursday night and continued into Friday morning, the private Pakistan-based AIP said. Fourteen vehicles in the convoy were completely destroyed by the bombing near Sato Kandau, near the provincial capital, Gardez, AIP said quoting a member of the provincial shura, or council, Sayed Yaqeen. The 65 killed included tribal elders and former mujahideen commanders, AIP said. This is one SICKENING development of "military intelligence"..... since when do locals have the authority to call in major airstrikes? Since when does the Pentagon tout this all morning on the news as the great strike against the Taliban elite? and now it turns out we've decimated the entire elite of that ANTI Talibans with AC-130 GUNSHIPS!? Bush is going to have to pay for this total screw up... CC
