    Turning Away From American State Terrorism

    In Pakistan we find the complete history of the American “war on terrorism,” from its Cold War origins nearly thirty years ago to its present incarnation in the illegal American aggression in Pakistan’s Frontier region (FATA, Federally Administered Tribal Areas) and in American attempts to reignite the Cold War with Russia.

      Video shows US military lying about killing Afghan civilians

      On August 22, the US military reported that an airstrike in Herat province killed 30 militants and no civilians. It didn' t take long for locals and Afghan officials to dispute this report , claiming that the toll included scores of civilians. The toll rose as bodies were pulled from the rubble, rising to at least 90 civilians , a count later confirmed by a United Nations investigator . The US however stuck to its original account, revising the number only slightly to include seven civilians killed. The US has also accused villagers who claimed higher numbers killed of spreading Taliban propaganda. However, a video has emerged which seems to dispute the US military' s account and support the accounts of every other agency.
