The UN report also condemned the arrest and detention of children in Afghanistan. But the U.S. military said ‘the reports were unsubstantiated and cited figures from the U.N. Assistance Mission in Afghanistan showing that the vast majority of civilian deaths and injuries in Afghanistan over the last several years were caused by insurgents.'”
