Afghan Police: NATO Force Kills Three Civilians

(FNA)- Afghanistan's NATO-led foreign force mistakenly killed three civilians in an air strike, Afghan officials said on Saturday.

The killing of civilians in air strikes has been a source of anger throughout the force's mission, frequently straining ties between the NATO force and the government, Reuters reported.

The latest incident took place in Logar province just South of the capital, Kabul, on Friday, provincial officials said.

"ISAF launched an air strike which killed three people and wounded two," said Logar Police Chief Abdul Hakim Ishaqzai.

"The people who were killed were inside a house," he said.

The NATO force did not immediately respond to a request for comment but said it would issue a statement later.
