Questions from Oruzgan

Questions from Oruzgan The killing of six Afghans by Australian soldiers shocked the world in 2009. We investigate the chilling questions surrounding the decision to ambush a family with no known link to the Taliban.
"For what sin did they kill him and riddle his body with bullet holes?" the sister of a victim cries, "see what they did to my sweet brother." We track down the survivors of that fateful night in February 2009 and hear first hand their account of what happened. Bullet-ridden walls and the wounds left on survivors, many of them children, attest to a violent ambush which the family claim was unprovoked and un-just. A brief investigation on the Australians' part would have proven the family's innocence. "Just because someone tells you 'He's a Talib', would you barge into his house at night, kill six people and injure four for no reason?" demands a victim. Sluggish response from the Australian Forces further fuels international speculation, as the family's questions are met with silence.
