[0:39] >> From ABC News world headquarters in New
[0:42] York,
[0:43] this is World News Tonight Sunday.
[0:46] Good evening, everyone. I'm Carol
[0:47] Simpson.
[0:48] Throughout the US campaign in
[0:50] Afghanistan, we've heard about civilians
[0:52] killed during attacks. The Pentagon says
[0:55] it doesn't track civilian deaths.
[0:57] Tonight, two reports may give us a
[0:59] better idea of just how many people may
[1:02] have died. ABC's John Yang reports from
[1:05] Washington.
[1:07] The human rights group Global Exchange
[1:09] says the American bombing campaign in
[1:11] Afghanistan killed at least 812
[1:13] civilians in the first 3 months alone.
[1:17] A separate New York Times review
[1:19] estimates that at least 400 died in 11
[1:22] incidents over the last 10 months. These
[1:25] families in Afghanistan, the women and
[1:28] children, the fathers, the aunts and
[1:30] uncles that have lost their lives, they
[1:32] are innocent civilians.
[1:34] They do not deserve to have bombs
[1:36] raining on them.
[1:38] Global Exchange says its figure is
[1:40] preliminary and does not include such
[1:42] recent incidents as this month's attack
[1:44] on a wedding part
