In retaliation for a suicide car bomb attack in rural Afghanistan, United states Marines (private mercenaries) from a Special Operations convoy race on several miles from the bombing attacking innocent civilians, wounding 69, and killing 19.

       Postscript: The 50 survivors, along with the families of the 19 who were killed, received “solatia” payments of about two-thousand “dollars” each, which came not out of the property and pensions of the Marines responsible for this war crime, but out of the confiscated earnings of United states subject/enemy/citizens extorted through the unlawful Federal income tax, who did not do this.
