Coalition 'bombs Afghan police'

At least 13 Afghan police and civilians have died
in two incidents involving international forces,
officials say.

Four Afghan police and five civilians died in an
apparently mistaken air strike by international
coalition forces in Farah province.

Separately, the Nato-led Isaf said it had
"accidentally" killed at least four civilians
in Paktika province.

The incidents are the latest in a series of
controversial clashes involving foreign troops.
