In Afghanistan, the U.S. military is being accused of killing at least 12 civilians in a weekend airstrike on Helmand province. Afghan elders say U.S. warplanes killed 12 people, including six children and two women. Another 12 were reportedly wounded. The Pentagon is denying the claim and says Taliban fighters were responsible. More than 300 Afghan civilians have died in NATO airstrikes this year, more than have been killed in Taliban attacks.
