US bombs hit mosque and village: UN

United Nations spokeswoman Stephanie Bunker on Wednesday confirmed Taleban claims that US bombs had hit a mosque and a village during attacks on Herat this week.

She said independent reports from the city had confirmed that the mosque was in the same compound as the military hospital, which the UN confirmed was bombed on Monday night.

However, she could not provide details of casualties.

The village, located a few hundred metres from the military compound, was hit with cluster bombs -- fist-sized anti-personnel and armour penetrating explosives designed to scatter across an area.

"On the same night or morning (as the mosque and hospital were bombed), a village was also hit, located between the military camp and the city of Herat," Bunker said.

"They had people being taken to the main Herat hospital in vehicles and pushcarts ... indicating that people were injured or killed," she said.
