40 Civilians Killed in Anti-Taliban Raid in Afghanistan

Anti-Taliban raids by Afghan forces backed by US airstrikes killed at least 40 civilians attending a wedding party in the southern Helmand province in Afghanistan, Afghan officials said.

The civilian deaths in Sunday night's raids on Taliban hideouts further rattled Afghanistan amid an upsurge in violence that's followed the collapse this month of US-Taliban peace talks to end America's longest war.
