Taliban Call For An Investigation of a Bombing — By Someone Else
jonathanturley
There must have been a bit of confusion in the German military headquarters. The Taliban has called for an investigation into a bombing ordered by the German commander in Afghanistan. That’s right, the Taliban who routinely bomb civilians, throw acid on little girls, and commit acts of terrorism as a matter of religion. That Taliban.
The air strike carried about by US planes killed dozens of people, including it appears some civilians. However, German and American commanders insist that many were Taliban fighters. German soldiers insisted that Afghan police were seen carrying away broken weapons from the scene.
There should an investigation, but the towering hypocrisy of Taliban calling for an investigation appears to have been lost on the media coverage of the story.
