Afghanistan: U.S. Airstrikes Kill at Least 30 Civilians
-------------------------------------------------------

In Afghanistan, U.S. airstrikes killed at least 30 civilians in Helmand
province, according to reports by local officials and residents
Wednesday. At least 16 Taliban fighters were also reportedly killed in
the attack. Hours later a suicide bomber and several gunmen launched a
coordinated attack near a British security compound in the capital
Kabul, killing at least 10, and wounding 19. The attacks came as Afghan
President Ashraf Ghani spoke at a U.N. meeting in Geneva, Switzerland,
where he outlined plans for peace talks with the Taliban.
