U.S. Missiles Kill 27 Afghans

Fighter aircraft battling militants accidentally killed up to 27 Afghans walking to a wedding ceremony. The wedding party was taken by surprise and horror. Many people are injured accidently in militant attacks and it is unfortunate but it is a part of war. This was in eastern Afghanistan early Sunday. This was the second military attack in three days with reports of civilian deaths. It seems to be of more interest and regret by the public when civilians are injured or killed. The U.S. military blamed the claims on militant propaganda and said its missiles only struck insurgents. But there is no way to verify this. I feel sure the U.S. would not wish to kill civilians but sometimes they are right in the path of the fighting and bombings. It's dangerous over there for everyone.
