A BBC report quoted witnesses who said that their relatives were shot from the towers where American soldiers were deployed.
“Many of those we meet, say their relatives were not killed in the blast, but in the firing afterwards,” the report said.
The report quoted many others saying the same thing.
“My relative was not killed Taliban or by ISIS,” a relative was quoted as saying. “The bullet was inside his head, he was shot,” the relative said.
