None
NATO says that an airstrike on two vehicles initially believed to be carrying Taliban fighters in southern Afghanistan has accidentally killed an unspecified number of civilians. The international alliance says it is investigating the strike, which occurred on Friday in the Naw Zad district of Helmand province.
It says that the airstrike followed intelligence suggesting a Taliban leader and his associates were in the vehicles. NATO said on Saturday that coalition troops later found bodies of civilians in the wreckage. NATO has not released the number of dead. (AP)
