Eight Afghanistan police officers killed during two US air friendly fire incident



An Afghan official says at least eight Afghan police officers have been killed in two U.S. airstrikes in southern Uruzgan province in what was apparently a friendly-fire incident.

Rahimullah Khan, a provincial operational commander, says the first airstrike killed one policeman at a security outpost outside the provincial capital of Tirin Kot, while the second, which struck the same area, killed seven others.

'An airstrike killed one police officer and when seven others returned to the security post, foreign aircraft carried out another raid, killing all of them,' he told VOA.
