The US bombing may have killed as many as 147 Afghans, including many women and children, according to press reports. If the reports of over 100 dead are true it will be the most deadly incident involving civilians since foreign troops invaded Afghanistan in 2001.
US killings of innocent civilians are also going on in Pakistan. A recent investigation found that in the last three years, US predator drone strikes killed 701 people in Pakistan, among which 687 were innocent civilians.
Ireland has deployed 7 troops who operate in Afghanistan under NATO command.
