Pentagon: "Non-official" soldiers handcuffed, executed Afghan School Children, Blackwater/ Xe Suspected

Afghan Govt. Demands Arrest of US "Death Squad"
Who handcuffed, executed 8 children. US refuses

By Carl Herman  

January 15, 2010 "LA County Nonpartisan Examiner" -- The UN's Representative to Afghanistan confirmed the Afghan government’s investigative conclusions that US troops handcuffed and then executed eight students enrolled in grades 6 through 10 in a night raid on December 27, 2009. 

The US military and NATO responded the troops involved were non-official. The most likely source of para-military “non-official” troops in Afghanistan is Blackwater/Xe.

President Hamid Karzai demanded arrest of the US troops engaged in the break-in and mafia-style execution of their children. The US responded to the Afghan demand of January 1 by rejecting the findings of the Afghan government and UN with a vague promise of their own self-investigation at some later date.
