KANDAHAR, July 3: The bride and groom in the wedding party that was attacked by US planes were thought to have died in the raid, but the groom showed up on Wednesday to meet investigators who arrived to look into the incident.

The groom, identified as Malick, told a reporter that he and his fiancee were due to be married the following day, and had been in a different village when the planes struck.

He said he came back to find 25 members of his family dead, including his father and several brothers and sisters.
