NATO forces kill Afghan civilian in volatile area
None
International forces killed an Afghan civilian Sunday after opening fire at a speeding vehicle in a southern district that has been the site of violent protests, NATO said.
The UN says the number of Afghan civilians killed by US and other international forces has declined sharply after top commander Gen. Stanley McChrystal tightened rules on the use of airstrikes and other weaponry to reduce civilians casualties. But Sunday's shooting underscored the dangers still facing Afghans who find themselves caught in the middle of escalating fighting. (AP)
