Русская версияAfghan President Hamid Karzai has sacked two Afghan army commanders
for "dereliction of duty" and "concealing the truth" for their role
in a US-led coalition airstrike that left nearly 90 civilians dead.
Karzai also ordered an investigation into the Afghan and US-led
coaltion operation in Herat province on Friday.
Brigadier General
Jalandar Shah and a major were relieved of their duties after they
together with US forces claimed 30 Taliban militants had been
killed in the attacks. In fact, almost 90 civilians, including 50
children died, making it the highest number of civilians killed in
a single operation since the fall of the Taliban regime in 2001.
