Witnesses: 2 Afghans Killed, Dozens Wounded in US Grenade Attack
----------------------------------------------------------------



In Afghanistan, President Hamid Karzai has ordered a probe into an
alleged US attack that killed two people and wounded more than fifty
others in Kunar Province. Afghan witnesses have accused a US soldier of
throwing a grenade at a crowd that had gathered to watch US troops
working to free a large military vehicle that had become stuck on a
road. Local doctors say the injured included several children, some in
critical condition.
