Six civilians were killed by international forces in a night operation in northern Afghanistan, an official said Tuesday. "Nato-led forces in an operation killed six civilians, all men, and injured four others in Sayad district of Sar-i-Pul province," Governor Sayed Anwar Rahmati said. The raid against a civilian house took place Monday night in the district's Pesht-e-Bagh area, Rahmati said. The coalition forces detained four others, including one possible Taliban fighter, he added.
The Nato-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) said they had killed several individuals in a night operation targeting a Taliban shadow governor. "What I can tell you right now is that a joint operation of Afghan and coalition forces killed several individuals and detained suspected people in Sayad district of Sar-i-Pul province last night," ISAF spokesman Michael Johnson said.
