U.S. military officials made compensation payments of about $50,000 per victim to relatives of at least 16 people killed during the March 11 shooting rampage, Bloomberg reported.

U.S. officers met relatives of those killed and injured in the attack, as well as local tribal leaders.

"The compensation was on behalf of the American government and was meant to ease the anger of these victims and encourage them not to take any violent action," said Agha Lalai Dastgiri, an elder from one of the two villages hit in the attack.

據彭博社報道，3月11日阿富汗槍擊事件造成至少16人死亡，日前，美國軍方表示，每名死者家屬可獲賠5萬美元。

美方官員會見了死傷者家屬及當地部落長老。

被襲村落一名長者阿迦·拉萊·達斯塔吉里說：“為了平息死傷家屬的憤怒情緒，也希望他們不再訴諸武力，美國政府特意支付賠償。”
