NATO Air Strike Kills Four Civilians in Afghanistan
---------------------------------------------------



In Afghanistan, NATO forces have been accused of killing four civilians
in an air strike overnight in southern Helmand province. The raid
reportedly killed two women, a child and an elderly man, along with
suspected insurgents. The incident comes only two days after NATO
acknowledged it had killed five Afghan civilians, including three women,
during a night raid on a home in the southeast of the country in
February. We’ll have more on Afghanistan later in the show.
