Shocking images that may have forced the U.S. military to reopen an investigation into an airstrike that killed Afghan civilians have been published in the media.
The grim, eight minute clip, filmed on a mobile phone in the aftermath of the bombing, shows rows of shrouded bodies laid side-by-side in a make-shift morgue. Among them are at least 11 children, many of them toddlers.
The footage may disprove the U.S. military claim that it killed just seven in a coalition air strike in western Afghanistan last month.
Afghanistan claims more than 90 people, many of them women and children, were killed in the August 22 strike. That claim was backed by the United Nations and disputed by the U.S.
