Child killings haunt foreign forces as protests erupt across Afghanistan

According to a recent report by the Afghanistan Rights Monitor, an average of three children are killed per day by the Afghanistan war--more than 1,050 in the last year alone. Reported execution-style killings of children in Ghazi Khan in late December have haunted foreign forces as other child-death incidents triggered accusations against coalition troops. Child deaths sparked mass outcry across Afghanistan, with protests erupting in Kabul, Jalalabad and Mehtar Lam.
