U.S. Accused of Killing 6 Afghan Civilians 
-------------------------------------------



The U.S.-led occupation force in Afghanistan is being accused of killing
six civilians in a northern Afghan province. Local officials say the
victims were fatally shot when foreign troops raided their home at
night. According to the United Nations, at least 80 Afghan civilians
were killed in U.S.-led nighttime raids last year.
