Officials: NATO Air Strike Mistakenly Kills 7 Afghan Soldiers And Policemen 2009-11-07 16:09:29 (43 weeks ago) Posted By: Intellpuke (Read 413 times || 0 comments) Afghan police and military officials said Saturday that at least seven of their members were killed and 16 injured in a NATO air strike that mistakenly targeted international forces in the northwest of the country. The NATO force confirmed the casualties and said it was investigating with the Afghan authorities whether some of them may have been caused by friendly fire. Five U.S. troops were also injured during an operation that involved multiple firefights over several hours Friday, said U.S. Air Force Lt. Col. Todd Vician, a spokesman for the NATO-led coalition in Afghanistan. The clashes occurred as Afghan and international forces were searching for two U.S. paratroopers who disappeared Wednesday while trying to recover airdropped supplies from a river. Police said they were swept away by the river in the Bala Murghab district of Badghis province. Abdu Raouf Ahmadi, spokesman for the western regional police command, said the joint forces were pursuing Taliban insurgents in a village when the air strike happened Friday. He was not certain, however, whether fighting was going on at that moment. (story continues below) Your Ad Here Make a donation today to remove the advertisments! This Story Has Been Archived.
