Afghans Protest Deadly U.S.-Led Air Strike 
-------------------------------------------



Hundreds of people rallied in Afghanistan's eastern province of Khost
Thursday over a U.S.-led NATO air strike that killed at least 11
civilians. The attack was one of the deadliest by the U.S.-led
occupation force against Afghan civilians this year.

Protester: "I ask Karzai to pull out these American and NATO forces from
our country, if he is able. If Karzai does not listen to our request, we
will call for a jihad against America, just as we did against Soviet
Russia. You can come and look at those killed in this bombing: three men
and eight children, including a one-year old and a two-year old."
