Report: U.S. Airstrikes Killed At Least 7 Taliban Hostages
----------------------------------------------------------

The U.S. military says it is investigating reports at least seven people
being held in a Taliban prison in Afghanistan were killed by U.S.
airstrikes over the weekend. Some reports have said as many as 16 people
were killed. Afghan officials have denied the reports. The news comes
after President Obama expanded the U.S. military's power to conduct
airstrikes and assist Afghan forces fighting the Taliban.
