NATO has admitted that its forces accidentally killed at least four civilians in eastern Afghanistan, and a local official says foreign troops mistakenly clashed with Afghan police in the west, killing nine.
NATO's International Security Assistance Force said it was investigating whether three other civilians also were killed in Paktika province over the weekend when two mortar rounds launched by its troops hit nearly one kilometre short of their target. The incidents could damage popular support for the Afghan government as well as for foreign forces operating there.
