These americans are not human… sealing prisoners in containers for days, then putting the container under the sun so it gets hot and then burying them in a large grave, some even ALIVE!
:-)
God bless America
:-)
These allegations are quite disturbing. Standing by and letting such actions take place would be a crime. As you stated it has been denied that Americans were involved by the Pentagon. My questions to those eyewitnesses would be how did they know Americans stood by, did they talk to them, by there uniforms or some other means? None the less horrific by any account.

Yes, if you watch the video, he was asked if he saw the americans there, he said about 30-40 americans were present when they opened the container to bury them.
I did watch the video and heard him say that, he was a truck driver no? I'm just wondering how he knows they were American, did they follow in their tanks or jeeps? Is he in jail for admitting his part in this crime I wonder?

Well as you know, they covered his face during the video...
Americans dont know who admitted for their part in the crime cause the faces of the eyewtinesses weren't shown on the video...
This type of cruelty was already reported when the Afghan war first started... and it was the Taliban supposedly doing it at the time.
Seems like the propoganda some of you like to believe in is coming full circle... only this time it's blamed on those naughty naughty Americans!

These acts were simply just inhumane...
Locking them in a container, putting the container under the sun so it gets hotter in their, then shot some bullets in the container to make some Air holes yet knowing people are inside and later burying them in a large graveyard.

Actually Newsweek did a story on this (the mass grave) but found nothing that linked Americans to it.
Massacre of taliban prisoners ? it was on CBC …..holy man I couldn’t believe that ****ttttttt………..and American soldiers were present when these held prisoners were shotttt and b4 getting shot they were held in big containers around 5000 of them and were left strangled out there without any fooooooooood……or hmm the food like anything………..that’s terrible….……..
I don’t know mann…….this was just nasttttttttyyy and just brutal stuff!!
Soon there is gonna be investigation held by UN and I hope they get all american soldiers along Northern Alliance forces who were involved in this massacre.
I just don’t believe all of this actually happened and someone could get so sick and brutal to human life……..totally substandard!!
Were U.S. troops in Afghanistan complicit in a massacre?](http://www.salon.com/news/feature/2002/06/15/massacre/index_np.html) Salon News. June 15, 2002
An Irish documentary filmmaker says he has evidence they were – and he’s releasing some of his footage to prevent a coverup.
By Michelle Goldberg
Irish documentarian Jamie Doran says he has evidence of American complicity in a massacre in Afghanistan, and he’s been showing his rough footage to European leaders in the hope of preventing a coverup.
Doran, who worked at the BBC for more than seven years and has made documentaries about human rights abuses throughout the world, screened 20 minutes of his unfinished feature documentary, “Massacre at Mazar,” to the European parliament and the German parliament on Wednesday. After witnessing the screening, Andrew McEntee, former head of Amnesty International in the U.K., called for an independent investigation.
Doran has yet to release the footage to the public because he says his eyewitnesses’ identities need to be obscured for their own protection. But Doran felt he had to get some of the information out immediately because the mass graves he secretly filmed are in danger of being tampered with, which would make an independent inquiry into his film’s allegations of Northern Alliance and American war crimes impossible.
According to Doran, of the approximately 8,000 Taliban prisoners taken after the fall of Kunduz in late November 2001 to Gen. Rashid Dostum, around 5,000 are unaccounted for. He says he’s filmed eyewitnesses testifying that many of those prisoners suffocated in the metal containers used to transport them between Qala-I-Zeini fortress and Sherberghan prison, and that Northern Alliance troops fired into the containers, killing and wounding other prisoners. One witness claims that an American officer ordered the bodies dumped in the desert of Dasht-I-Leili, and that living people were taken there as well and executed. Furthermore, Doran says he has witnesses claiming to have seen American special-forces soldiers torturing prisoners who made it to Sherberghan.

‘US had role in Taleban prisoner deaths’](http://news.scotsman.com/international.cfm?id=648372002) The Scotsman 14 Jun 02
By: ANDREW McLEOD foreign editor
US SOLDIERS took part in the torture of Taleban prisoners and may have had a role in the “disappearance” of around 3,000 men in Mazar-i-Sharif in north-west Afghanistan, according to a new documentary. Massacre at Mazar, by Scots film producer Jamie Doran, was shown on Wednesday in the Reichstag, the German parliament building in Berlin and the European parliament in Strasbourg.
Much of Mr Doran’s footage in the 20-minute preview of a future full-length documentary film was taken secretly. In one sequence, a witness claims he saw a US soldier break an Afghan prisoner’s neck and pour acid on others. “The Americans did whatever they wanted. We had no power to stop them.” Some prisoners were beaten up, taken outside only to “disappear”, the witness said.
Two other witnesses claim they were forced to drive into the desert with hundreds of Taleban prisoners who were in containers. The orders came from the local US commander, they alleged. Prisoners who had not suffocated to death were then shot dead while 30 to 40 US soldiers stood by watching. In another sequence, a witness admits to having executed prisoners, while another Afghan, said to have been a senior officer under the Northern Alliance’s General Rashid Dostum, was said to have gone into hiding following threats to his life.
**The screening of the film at the European Parliament in prompted calls for an international commission to investigate the charges. Mr Doran told The Scotsman last night: “I took the footage to the European parliament because of a phone call I received from Afghanistan. I have a great fear that the graves may be tampered with. I had to take it to the highest level in Europe.” He said that after the screening, MEPs had told him they would approach the Red Cross to ensure the graves were protected. **
Mr Doran said his documentary followed closely the findings of a new report by the Boston-based Physicians for Human Rights (PHR), which had concluded that there was evidence of the disposal of human remains at two mass grave sites near Mazar-i-Sharif. “Physicians for Human Rights tell me that the interviews we conducted for the documentary were the missing link they needed,” Mr Doran said. In the documentary, the witnesses says they believe the bodies at the site found near the village of Shebarghan included the Taleban prisoners who were transported to the site in the truck containers.
**On its website, PHR calls on Hamid Karzai, Afghanistan’s new leader, and the international community to protect the grave sites. It says it recognises that the government of Afghanistan was not in a position to secure the sites but that the US, Britain and other countries had the capacity - and the responsibility - to ensure that they were protected. “The examination of bodies and dignified burial of remains will contribute to the truth and accountability process, which is essential for future peace and stability in Afghanistan,” PHR said. **
Andy McEntee, former chairman of Amnesty International, who saw the film footage in Berlin and read the transcript, told DPA news agency that he believed there there was prima facie evidence of serious war crimes having been committed by US soldiers in Afghanistan. Mr McEntee said he believed the war crimes had been committed not only under international law but also under US law.
Amnesty International and other human rights organisations called last year for a public inquiry into the events at Mazar-i-Sharif after the surrender of Taleban forces there in late November. Hundreds of Taleban fighters were killed in what Northern Alliance forces said was a revolt. Pictures of aid workers making their way through the corpses of Taleban prisoners caused international outrage at the time. …
