Video shows dead in Afghan raid

Updated on 08 September 2008

The bodies of at least 10 children and many more adults covered in blankets appear in newly-released videos, lending weight to Afghan and UN claims that a US-led raid last month killed more civilians than the US reported.

The sounds of wailing women mixed with the voices of men shouting inside a white-walled mosque in the western village of Azizabad, where an Afghan government commission and UN report said some 90 civilians - including 60 children and 15 women - were killed.

The two grainy videos, apparently taken on mobile phones, showed bodies lying side-by-side on the mosque floor, covered by floral-patterned blankets and shawls.
