Kabul : US and NATO air raids have tripled the number of civilians killed in Afghanistan between 2006 and 2007.
An NGO report dated Monday in this capital called international occupying forces, particularly the United States, to put an end to the mistakes that are killing so many civilians in this Islamic Central-Asian nation.
According to statistics released, at least 230 civilian Afghans in 2006 and 321 in 2007 lost their lives in actions led by occupying troops, half of them in air raids.
A conservative report indicated at least 119 civilians died in bombings until July 2008.
Public support of the Afghan government and for international security forces has drastically dropped on account of US and NATO mistakes.
The NGO report was published two weeks after the Afghan government and the United Nations acknowledged that more than 90 villagers, mostly children, were killed during an air raid led by US forces in Azizabad on August 22, 2008.
