Bobbi Kristina's problems 'out of control'
KABUL, Afghanistan, Feb. 25 (UPI) -- Government investigators in Afghanistan said about 65 civilians died during a NATO operation last week but NATO said it knew of no civilians killed.
An Afghan-led investigation said civilians, including women and children, were killed in military airstrikes in a remote mountain area of Kunar province during a three-day offensive, the BBC reported.
The leader of the Afghan investigation team said victims were burned beyond recognition and buried in a mass grave, the BBC reported. One man from a village said people were killed after they fled from their homes.
NATO officials, decrying what they called a Taliban-backed campaign of disinformation, said their initial findings indicated no civilians died in the airstrikes.
Some NATO officials said they thought village elders may have burned the hands and feet of children and sent the youngsters to a hospital to create the impression of an incident involving civilians, which Karzai's spokesman called "outrageous, insulting and racist."
