US troops massacre over 147 civilians in Farah Afghanistan

Over 147 innocent civilians, many of them women and children, were massacred when US war planes bombed villages of Gerani and Gangabad in Bala Baluk district of Farah Province on May 4, 2009. This is one out of many war crime cases committed by the US troops in Afghanistan over the past few years. The number of innocent civilians killed since Obama took office in Jan.21, reaches to 300 and his so-called "new" strategy for Afghanistan and surge in number of troops has resulted in more such terrible tragedies.
