YouTube Description
as posted by the channelShortly after the U.S. military was forced to vacate a base in Afghanistan's Wardak Province this spring, the bodies of 10 Afghan villagers were found nearby. All of the people had disappeared after being detained by U.S. special forces. The base was used by a unit known as "The ATeam," which has also been linked to eight other murders in Wardak. The mystery behind the deaths is the center of a shocking new exposé which reports the disappearances and killings could amount to some of the gravest war crimes perpetrated by U.S. forces since the U.S.led invasion in 2001. We are joined by Matthieu Aikins, an awardwinning investigative journalist based in Kabul who spent five months investigating the killings for his Rolling Stone article, "The ATeam Killings."
