The Taliban were either shot or packed into containers, where they suffocated, the witnesses claim. Doran claims that at least 150 U.S. troops, plus an unknown number of CIA operatives, were working with the Northern Alliance in the area and could not possibly have been unaware of what was going on. Doran said he had no sympathy with terrorists, “but killing prisoners is a war crime.“ So far, nothing has come of this although US magazines including Newsweek and Time have written extensively about the massacre specifically mentioning the Taliban smothered in containers. I'll have to find the article, but I remember the description of the soldiers found dead in the containers. When the doors were opened, they fell to the ground like limp, dead fish.
