Afghan Massacre: The Convoy of Death is a 2002 documentary by Irish filmmaker Jamie Doran and Afghan journalist Najibullah Quraishi about alleged war crimes committed by Afghan Northern Alliance troops under General Abdul Rashid Dostum against Taliban fighters.

The Taliban fighters, who had surrendered to Dostum's troops after the November 2001 siege of Kunduz, were transported to Sheberghan prison in sealed containers.

Human rights groups estimate that hundreds or thousands of them died during and after transit.

This film presents testimony from interviewees stating that American military personnel were present at and complicit in some of the mass killings, known as the Dasht-i-Leili massacre.

A short early version of the documentary was shown to the European and German Parliaments in June 2002, causing widespread concern in Europe.

Against protests from the United States government, the completed documentary was shown later that year on many countries' national television channels, including German, British, Italian and Australian television.

The program was not screened in the U.S. and received no U.S. media coverage.

A Newsweek report in August 2002, based on a leaked UN memo, did confirm some of the details in Doran's documentary, as well as the presence of mass graves in the Dasht-i-Leili desert, but made no mention of the documentary.

I love peacefull, playfull, drugfree life. Not hatefull, warfilled, mind controlled strife. I love free-thinking people expressng original ideas. Not controlled, manipulating, propaganda medias. New widescreen TVs hypnotise a nation into sleep, turning proud, honest American rebels into sheep. And with a heart of love lies a beautiful Gods-child, raped and murdered by a snarling Rothschild.
