An explosion of an artillery shell in Afghanistan's eastern Nangarhar province killed or wounded 11 members of one family, most of them children. The ordnance reportedly had been left behind unexploded after a fierce firefight between Afghan security forces and Taliban militants in the area. The family claims neither the Afghan government nor the international community has offered them any assistance. Zabihullah Ghazi reports.
