Victims of the US strikes
In Jalalabad

Dead body of a young boy in a local hospital in Jalalabad who has been killed by the US bombs.

"A Guardian investigation into the "indirect victims" now confirms the belief of many aid agencies that they exceeded the number who died of direct hits. As many as 20,000 Afghans may have lost their lives as an indirect consequence of the US intervention. They too belong in any tally of the dead. "
