KABUL (Reuters) - Thousands marched angrily through Kabul on Monday after security forces opened fire on protesters, killing at least seven Afghans and wounding 40 in clashes sparked by a fatal traffic accident involving a U.S. military truck.

The truck, part of a U.S. convoy, had careered out of control and crashed into a dozen vehicles, killing at least one person and injuring six. A furious crowd then hurled stones and smashed windows of the convoy vehicles, according to a U.S. military statement.

One of the besieged U.S. vehicles appeared to fire in the air, according to the statement. Afghan police also opened fire when they came to the assistance of the U.S. troops, and it was unclear who was responsible for shooting into the angry crowd.

Some eyewitnesses blamed the U.S. troops, others blamed the police and some blamed both.

“There are indications that at least one coalition military vehicle fired warning shots over the crowd,” a U.S. military statement said.

Note the bolded portion … don’t believe all what you read from the MSM, a lot of times its twisted against the US Military.  There were more than one country’s military represented in that convoy.

The SGM was inbound on a plane from Herat when this started. As soon as they landed in Kabul, they secured them in a location at the airport.

Updated:  Everyone was called to prayer, the streets emptied out and so they boogied from the airport to Eggers, where they are going to stay.
