NATO occupayion air strike killed four Afghan police and two civilians on Thursday
NATO occupayion air strike killed four Afghan police and two civilians on Thursday, Afghan officials said.
A spokesman for the US-led NATO force in Kabul told AFP that the military was checking the information. The attack happened after Taliban insurgents attacked a local police post in eastern Ghazni province before dawn and NATO planes were called in to support the officers under attack.
"The NATO planes went there to assist the police, but the post was bombed and four police were killed. Two civilians present were also killed," Fazul Ahmad Tolwak, chief of Ghazni's Deh Yak district, told AFP.
Ghazni provincial administration spokesman Fazul Sabawoon confirmed the incident and gave a similar account.
After an occupation air strike killed 10 civilians, mostly women and children, in February, Karzai banned Afghan security forces from calling in NATO air strikes.
