la nouvelle<\/a> concernant une attaque des forces de l’OTAN en Afghanistan, avec appel au soutien a\u00e9rien bien connu des amis US, laissant sur le carreau d’un petit village afghan autour de 80 morts civils.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00abAir strikes in the British-controlled Helmand province of Afghanistan may have killed civilians, coalition troops said yesterday as local people claimed that between 50 and 80 people, many of them women and children, had died.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbIn the latest of a series of attacks causing significant civilian casualties in recent weeks, more than 200 were killed by coalition troops in Afghanistan in June, far more than are believed to have been killed by Taliban militants.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbThe bombardment, which witnesses said lasted up to three hours, in the Gereshk district late on Friday followed an attempted ambush by the Taliban on a joint US-Afghan military convoy. According to Mohammad Hussein, the provincial police chief, the militants fled into a nearby village for cover. Planes then targeted the village of Hyderabad. Mohammad Khan, a resident of the village, said seven members of his family, including his brother and five of his brother’s children, were killed.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\tLe probl\u00e8me est donc que les musulmans d’Afghanistan, s’ils prennent la fine remarque de Blair au pied de la lettre (\u00abHow are [we] oppressing them? You’re oppressing them when you support the people who are trying to blow them up<\/em>\u00bb), risquent de prendre les US et les Anglais pour des talibans, \u00e0 s’en tenir au simple constat de qui sont les gens \u00ab who are trying to blow them up<\/em>\u00bb et les gens \u00ab [who] support the people who are trying to blow them up.<\/em>\u00bb Apr\u00e8s tout, les Anglais soutiennent les Am\u00e9ricains et vice-versa, n’est-ce pas? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n\tQuant au rapport pr\u00e9cis de toutes ces activit\u00e9s avec les talibans, voici ce que l’Observer<\/em> en dit, qui nous indique, en bonne comptabilit\u00e9, qu’ils viennent de fabriquer 400 nouveaux talibans en un seul raid :<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00abSenior British soldiers have previously expressed concerns that<\/em> [US Commannder, General] McNeill, who took command of the 32,000 Nato troops in Afghanistan only recently, was a fan’ of the massive use of air power to defeat insurgents and that his favoured tactics could be counter-productive.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbEvery civilian dead means five new Taliban, said one British officer who has recently returned from Helmand. It’s a tough call when the enemy are hiding in villages, but you have to be very, very careful, he added.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbThe American general has been dubbed Bomber McNeill’ by his critics.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
