NATO Kills Second Afghan Civilian on Same Day
---------------------------------------------

http://enews.voanews.com/t?ctl=164C98F:A6F02AD83191E160A30B34606A5B10359574F7DCC14957C0 NATO troops found
no explosives after killing suspected man NATO-led troops in
Afghanistan have killed a second civilian originally suspected of
being a suicide bomber.

A NATO spokesman said a man failed to heed a warning as he approached
a NATO convoy just west of Kandahar on Saturday. Members of the convoy
saw what appeared to be a device with wires protruding from his chest.

The NATO statement says troops fired two warning shots before firing
the shot that killed him.

When the troops searched the man, they found twine and other materials
protruding from his jacket but no explosives.

A nearly identical incident occurred near the Kandahar airfield
earlier the same day.

Some information for this report was provided by AFP and AP.
