A cousin of Afghan President Hamid Karzai has been killed in a U.S. attack in Afghanistan. Sixty-five-year-old Yaar Mohammad Khan was shot dead during a nighttime U.S. raid on his home. U.S. soldiers were trying to arrest Khan’s son. The reasons for his shooting have not been explained. Karzai has repeatedly called for an end to the nighttime raids. The killing comes just over a week since nine Afghan boys were mistakenly killed by NATO gunships.
