NATO Air Strike Kills Four Civilians in Afghanistan

HeadlineApr 06, 2010

In Afghanistan, NATO forces have been accused of killing four civilians in an air strike overnight in southern Helmand province. The raid reportedly killed two women, a child and an elderly man, along with suspected insurgents. The incident comes only two days after NATO acknowledged it had killed five Afghan civilians, including three women, during a night raid on a home in the southeast of the country in February. We’ll have more on Afghanistan later in the show.
