Two Afghan policemen killed by Nato troops

Two Afghan policemen were killed and three wounded when Nato-led forces shot them at a checkpoint, a local police chief said Saturday. The incident happened due to a "misunderstanding" between international troops and the Afghan forces, who are jointly fighting a ten-year Taliban-led insurgency in Afghanistan, the chief added.
The shooting took place late Friday on the outskirts of the south-eastern city of Ghazni when Afghan police tried to stop a convoy of foreign forces, provincial police chief Dilawar Zahid told AFP. "Last night, a convoy of foreign forces from Kabul were heading towards Ghazni when they were stopped by Afghan police.
