阿富汗政府调查人员总结显示,星期天外国军队在阿富汗东部偏远地区的一次行动中造成10名平民丧生,其中包括学校儿童。

阿富汗总统卡尔扎伊的顾问阿萨杜拉.瓦法说,他的调查组和当地村民以及库纳尔省纳朗区官员谈话后认定,这个袭击导致10名平民死亡,其中八人是年龄在13岁到17岁之间的学生。遇难者在阿富汗调查组到来前被掩埋。瓦法说,官员们现在试图找到提供信息导致这次袭击的线人。

早些时候,北约官员称,从战场发来的最初报导显示,袭击杀死了九名叛乱分子。星期三,官员们说,他们将继续调查。

与此同时,数百名大学生到邻近的楠格哈尔省贾拉拉巴德的街道上抗议平民被杀。

Afghan government investigators have concluded that foreign troops killed 10 civilians — including school children — during an operation in a remote, eastern part of the country on Sunday.

Asadullah Wafa, an advisor to Afghan President Hamid Karzai, says his team spoke with local villagers and officials in Kunar’s Narang district and determined the attack killed 10 civilians, including eight students between the ages of 13 and 17. The victims were buried before the Afghan team arrived. Wafa said officials are now trying to find the informant who provided information that led to the attack.

Earlier, NATO officials claimed that initial reports from the battlefield indicated that the raid killed nine insurgents. On Wednesday, officials said they are continuing to investigate.

Meanwhile, hundreds of university students took to the streets of Jalalabad in neighboring Nangarhar province to protest the killings.
