'US troops are committing war crimes' Afghan rights group accuses foreign troops of deliberately killing civilians

Uruknet: An Afghan human rights organisation has accused the United States army of committing war crimes in Afghanistan. The Afghanistan Human Rights Organisation (AHRO) said on Tuesday that, according to their own investigations, civilians are killed in most operations conducted by US forces. AIHRC expressed strong concern about the death of innocent Afghans during military operations and urged those responsible for the killings to face trial. "According to our investigations, 98% of civilian casualties caused by the coalition forces in Afghanistan are intentional," the head of the AHRO, Lal Gul, said. "The actions of the coalition forces, especially the American forces, are not only against the human rights laws, but are considered war crimes. Therefore, these forces have committed war crimes in Afghanistan," he said.
