Nato forces 'kill three Afghans in road crash, shooting'

KABUL: Nato-led forces killed two civilians in a road accident and shot dead a third civilian after an angry crowd hurled stones at their military convoy following the crash, Kabul police said Wednesday.

Police spokesman Hashmat Stanikzai identified the troops as British, saying that a military convoy crashed into a civilian vehicle killing two women, prompting a crowd to pelt them with stones.

"The military started opening fire at the crowd and killed a civilian man and wounded a woman and a child," he added.

The International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) was not immediately available for comment.
