Nederland en Afghanistan 79

Zelfs in Kaboel krijgt de bevolking genoeg van de Amerikaanse bezetting. Al Jazeera bericht: 'Riot involving US forces erupts in Kabul. US and Afghan forces fired on protesters in the Afghan capital after a riot erupted on Monday because of a traffic accident involving US troops, police and eyewitnesses said.
Three people were killed in the accident, and a fourth was killed by gunfire, they said.
Aljazeera's correspondent in the capital, Kabul, said at least 20 were killed or wounded.
A Kabul police chief, Sher Shah Usafi, said at least three people were killed and 16 wounded in the crash, while US forces killed one person and wounded two when they fired on dozens of stone-throwing rioters shouting "Down with America!"
A commander for the city's traffic police who was at the scene said he saw US forces firing on protesters. He spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorised to speak to the media.
The US-led coalition in Kabul confirmed there had been an accident and gave different casualty figures but said it had no reports of soldiers opening fire.
"There was a military flatbed truck which had a mechanical failure, maybe a brake problem, and it crashed into some civilian vehicles.
"One civilian was killed and six were injured," coalition spokeswoman Lieutenant Tamara Lawrence told AFP.' Lees verder:
