Like others, this one included rape and murder.
"A parliamentary probe team on Thursday said up to 20 American troops were involved in Sunday’s killing of 16 civilians in southern Kandahar province."
It spent two days interviewing surviving family members, witnesses, and tribal elders. They also gathered evidence where killings took place.
Two groups of US soldiers were involved. Attacks occurred in separate villages one and a half kilometers apart.
"We are convinced that one soldier cannot kill so many people in two villages within one hour at the same time."
Most victims were women and children. Parliamentarian Taghoet Hamidzai Lali said.
Soldiers committed rape and murder
On March 18, India's Siasat Daily headlined, "US Forces raped two Afghan women," saying:
The Afghan probe team said US soldiers systematically went from house to house in two villages, raped two women before murdering them, and at least 14 others.
Some victim bodies were then set ablaze.
On March 17, Russia Today called the Kandahar massacre "preplanned" murder, according to Afghan Army Chief of Staff Lt. General Sher Mohammad Karimi.
