General McKiernan requests review of Shindand findings and new evidence Published Sept. 10, 2008 By Combined Joint Task Force - 101 Combined Press Information Center BAGRAM AIR FIELD, Afghanistan -- General David McKiernan, senior US officer in Afghanistan, issued a statement today in regards to the recent Shindand incident's investigation findings and new evidence. "In light of emerging evidence pertaining to civilian casualties in the August 22 counter-insurgency operation in the Shindand District, Herat province, I feel it is prudent to request that US Central Command send a general officer to review the US investigation and its findings with respect to this new evidence. The people of Afghanistan have our commitment to get to the truth."
