In Afghanistan, hundreds of people have blocked a main highway outside the city of Jalalabad to protest the killings of two Afghan civilians and the arrest of several others in a US raid. A local police commander said the victims were a father and his son.

Col. Ghafoor Khan: “As a result of the operation in the house, two people have been martyred, a father and his son, and three others have been taken away. Those who have been killed and those who have been taken away are farmers working in the lands.”
