This familiar type of incident won't get the column inches of the imaginary threat to Prince Harry at Camp Bastion or green on blue attacks. But note the usual NATO routine. Denial followed by lies followed by spin followed by apologies followed by a non-existent 'investigation'.
Villagers from Laghman province's Alingar district brought the bodies to the governor's office in the provincial capital, said Sarhadi Zewak, a spokesman for the provincial government."They were shouting 'Death to America!' They were condemning the attack," Zewak said.
Seven injured females were brought to area hospitals for treatment, some of them as young as 10 years old, said provincial health director Latif Qayumi.
NATO forces at first said that about 45 insurgents and no civilians were killed in the attack but spokesman Jamie Graybeal stressed later that they took the charge of civilian deaths seriously and were investigating the allegations. He said, however, that initial reports showed only insurgents were killed in the airstrike. LINK
