Afghan Massacre

[کیش]

Afghan Massacre: The Convoy of Death (earlier title: Massacre at Mazar[1]) is a 2002 documentary by Irish filmmaker Jamie Doran and Afghan journalist Najibullah Quraishi about alleged war crimes committed by Afghan Northern Alliance troops under General Abdul Rashid Dostum against Taliban fighters. The Taliban fighters, who had surrendered to Dostum's troops after the November 2001 siege of Kunduz, were transported to Sheberghan prison in sealed containers. Human rights groups estimate that hundreds or thousands of them died during and after transit. Afghan Massacre: The Convoy of Death presents testimony from interviewees stating that American military personnel were present at and complicit in some of the mass killings, known as the Dasht-i-Leili massacre.

around 8,000 Taliban fighters, including Chechens, Pakistanis and Uzbeks as well as suspected members of al-Qaeda, surrendered to the forces of Northern Alliance General Abdul Rashid Dostum, a U.S. ally in the war in Afghanistan, after the siege of Kunduz

The witnesses state the sealed containers held 200 to 300 men each. They say that when the men in the containers began crying out for air and water, air holes were shot into the sides of the containers, killing several of those inside.[3] A soldier is asked in the documentary: "You specifically shot holes into containers? Who gave you those orders?" He replies: "The commanders ordered me to hit the containers to make holes for ventilation and because of that some of the prisoners were killed."[1]

**** the taliban, so what, these savages had it coming. They fight for a living, dont they expect to die. Now im against brutality but this is just a case of karma. These backward idiots need to stop living thier lives thorugh violence and religion and realize they that there has to be an end to their caveman tendencies.

You fail to see the problem? Are you a jackass? You cannot execute prisoners, let alone thousands of them.

Unless your Dostums illegitimate child.

They were told that if they were to surrender, they would be allowed to return to their homes. So they were not arrested, in the normal procedure.

So if American soldiers get executed by the masses, its fair game? And the American public should just forget about it as well?

sure, but i don't see that happening.

sure, but i don't see that happening.

So your theory of "It's wat, **** happens" is irrelevant. Because American lives are more important then any Afghans. It doesn't mater if civilian, or Talib.

i don't see how it's irrelevant, i just said a mass execution on US security forces is very unlikely. i never mentioned anything about the importance of lives, personally i don't care whether they're american or afghan.

actually technically they were civilians, Taliban are mostly civilians conscripts.
