Police fire on Afghans protesting the killing of teenage boy by U.S. forces , 4 killed
Residents of a district in eastern Nangarhar province on Saturday claimed four people were killed and six others wounded when police opened fire on them during a protest against the killing of a boy by foreign troops.
NATO-led foreign troops on Friday night raided a house in the Hesark district, killing a 12-year-old son of a police officer. Nearly 500 residents of the district on Saturday took to the streets to denounce the killing. They placed the dead body in front of the district headquarters while chanting slogans against foreign troops. Protestors said it was a peaceful demonstration, but police without any reason opened fire at them, killing four protestors and injuring six others.
