Dozens of civilians -- including many children -- were killed yesterday in an air attack targeting the Taliban in Afghanistan's northern Kunduz province, the UPI website reports today (April 3, 2018).

Officials said a religious school in the Dasht-e-Archi district killed at least 70 people, including top Taliban commanders.

Witnesses to the raid, however, say more than 100 people were killed, many of them civilians and children.

"There were children as young as 11 or 12 years old in the ceremony who were to be presented with awards and gifts for the completion of their religious courses," witness Mohammed Abdul Haq said.
