"US airstrike kills 9 Afghan soldiers at checkpoint
KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — A U.S.-led coalition airstrike hit an Afghan army checkpoint Wednesday, killing nine soldiers, Afghan officials said. The American military acknowledged that its forces may have "mistakenly" killed allied troops.
The U.S. acknowledged that its forces "may have mistakenly killed and injured" Afghan soldiers in what may have been a case of mistaken identity "on both sides." Meanwhile, a roadside blast struck a vehicle carrying coalition troops in western Afghanistan on Wednesday, killing three members and wounding a fourth, the coalition said in a statement.
In the last month, uniformed Afghan police officers have twice opened fire on U.S. troops, killing two soldiers. The police officers were killed by U.S. soldiers returning fire, but the incidents raised fears that insurgents have infiltrated Afghanistan's security forces as a cover to launch attacks.
In the country's southern Uruzgan province, a two-day battle that ended early Wednesday killed 35 Taliban fighters and three Afghan police, said Juma Gul Himat, Uruzgan's provincial police chief. The battle was led by Afghan forces but also involved helicopter gunships.
In other violence, U.S. troops killed seven militants and detained seven others in a series of operations throughout Afghanistan, the military said in a statement. --more--"
