From Afghan National TV on 19th March.
On 19th March ,Khaiber Momand, the district chief of Bati Kot where a US raid the previous night happened, said those targeted were civilians, and those detained included the director of the district's development department, Haji Khair, and two of his sons.
Momand alleged that during the raid, troops also beat the mayor of Bati Kot, Mohammad Hassan, and his son, Enayat.
Col. Greg Julian, spokesman for U.S. forces in Afghanistan, said there were "solid, multiple sources of intelligence which led us to this location and to these individuals."
Detainees were being questioned and were suspected of association with insurgent activity, Julian said.
It was impossible to independently verify either claim because of the remoteness of the area.
