An explosion rocks a mosque in eastern Afghanistan as dozens of people gather to offer Friday players, causing the roof to collapse and killing dozens of worshippers, provincial officials say.

Zahir Adil, spokesman for the public health department in Nangarhar Province, said 23 of the wounded were transferred to Jalalabad, the provincial capital, and the rest were being treated in the Haskamena district clinic.

"Civilian casualties at record-high levels clearly show the need for all parties concerned to pay much more attention to protecting the civilian population, including through a review of conduct during combat operations," said Tadamichi Yamamoto, the UN secretary-general's special representative for Afghanistan.

Yeah that is Bad but really I don't have much time to care, to worried about what is happening in Aus,

Will they be investigated and charged with war crimes?

Maybe it's better that they all be left alone to 'work things out' between themselves...

Yet another mainstream media source fails to highlight this is Sunni-Shia sectarian violence. They never did get along, you know.
