NATO Strike Kills Family

A NATO bombing strike in Afghanistan killed a family of eight, including six children, officials said Sunday. “It’s true. A house was bombed by NATO,” a senior security official in Kabul told the Agence France-Presse. “A man named Mohammad Sahfee, his wife, and six of their innocent children were brutally killed.” NATO officials said they were investigating the case. The civilian casualties in the eastern part of the country are likely to anger many Afghans and could hurt the relationship between President Hamid Karzai and the West. “It was an airstrike conducted by NATO,” a government official in the region told AFP. “This man had no connection to the Taliban or any other terrorist group.”
