Ten children killed in Afghan NATO strike

World

A NATO airstrike has killed at least 10 children in the East of Afghanistan, report local officials. A house collapsed during the attack, causing the casualties and leaving six women injured.

“Ten children and eight militants were killed in the strike, six women were wounded,” Kunar province spokesman Wasifullah Wasifi told AFP.

Earlier on Sunday a gunfight between Afghan-led security forces and Taliban extremists killed as many as 11 suspected militants and left one American civilian adviser dead.

Recently, Afghan security forces have been taking the lead in operations against Taliban insurgency in preparation for the final withdrawal of alliance forces in 2014.

US Special Forces were forced to withdraw from two Afghan provinces back in February by the government after a number of reports of “harassing, torturing and murdering innocent civilians.”

Afghanistan’s President Hamid Karzai slammed the US forces for fueling “insecurity and instability” in troubled provinces located close to Kabul.
