Karzai, coalition clash on bombing deaths
President Hamid Karzai says at least 10 policemen have been killed in Afghanistan when a coalition plane mistakenly bombed a patrol, but the US-led force says it has only hit "extremists".

Elsewhere, two suicide bombs have struck the south of the war-torn country, wounding a US soldier and eight policemen.

The coalition has announced it has killed eight rebels in a gun battle in the east.

The violence is the latest in a surge of attacks in Afghanistan blamed largely on the extremist Taliban movement that was toppled by a coalition of foreign forces and Afghan factions nearly five years ago.

4. Well what does he expect when the policy is to kill anything that moves?
Oh wait, that's Iraq isn't it?

I doubt that they're too picky over in Afganistan. Hell, they kill their own. Ask Pat Tillman's family.

Can never be too careful. :sarcasm:
