Afghans claim U S raid killed allies at school
In Uruzgan Afghans recount a January 23 U S special forces raid on a small religious school that killed 19 people many of them sleeping. Afghans say the dead included government delegation members and that two were handcuffed and shot in the schoolyard. The Pentagon had initially described it as an attack on an al Qaida weapons dump with 15 killed and 27 captured. Maj. Mills acknowledged none of the 27 captured were al Qaida or Taliban and all have been released.

Federal judge orders Lindh held pending trial
In Alexandria, a federal judge ordered John Walker Lindh held pending trial after prosecutors cited emails showing hostility toward the United States. Judge Sewell rejected Lindh’s bail request, noting he could flee and posed a danger. The hearing contrasted defense claims Lindh fought with the Taliban by choice, not to aid terrorism, with prosecutors labeling him a committed terrorist. Lindh, Californian, will be arraigned.
