NATO: US-led forces kill Afghan girl
The US-led forces in Afghanistan have killed a young Afghan girl and a policeman in the east of the Asian country nearly two months after the foreign forces took the lives of nine Afghan children, NATO says.
According to a NATO statement on Thursday, the US-led troops killed the young girl and the policeman in Nangarhar province's Surkh Rod district on Wednesday during an overnight raid, the Associated Press reported. According to a neighbor, the girl was only 12 years old. In May, a US-led airstrike in northeast Afghanistan killed nine children, aged between seven and nine, who were collecting firewood.
