Kids May Be Dead After Afghanistan Attack
KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) - A U.S. air strike apparently killed nine children as well as the suspected militant who was targeted on Saturday in eastern Afghanistan, according to the U.S. military.
An American A-10 aircraft struck a site south of Ghazni, 100 miles southwest of the capital, Kabul, where a ``known terrorist'' was believed to be hiding at about 10:30 a.m. Saturday, Army Maj. Christopher E. West told The Associated Press.
``At the time we initiated the attack, we did not know there were children nearby,'' he said.
Jawaid Khan, the Ghazni governor's secretary, said that eight children and two men were killed but the intended target, whom he identified as a former Taliban commander named Mullah Wazir, was not among them.
