The Dirty Secret of International Forces in Afghanistan 

The Dirty Secret of International Forces in Afghanistan | Corey Levine 
In September 2012 a group of women and girls from his village were collecting firewood when an American military plane dropped at least two bombs on them, killing seven, including his 16-year old daughter, Bibi Halimi. The U.S. however, denied all culpability in the attack, claiming instead it was insurgents that had been killed. And so Bibi Halimi's father, as well as the families of the other six victims, were left with only questions as to why their loved ones had needlessly died. "I have no power to ask why the international forces why they did this," he said. "I can't bring them to court."
