Afghan Massacre: Convoy of Death is a 2002 documentary by Irish documentary filmmaker Jamie Doran about alleged war crimes committed on Taliban fighters in November, 2001, after they had surrendered to Northern Alliance fighters after the siege of Kunduz. People presented as eyewitnesses claim that Taliban prisoners were transported in containers for several days, some of them suffocating and others dying when the containers were fired upon "in order to make holes for the air to get in." Several interviewed people allege that US military or CIA agents were present.[1] [2] Doran claims that mass graves of thousands of victims were found by the United Nations.[3] The International Committee of the Red Cross is also investigating the incident.[4]
