- KABUL (Reuters) - A U.S.
plane killed or wounded at least 120 members of an Afghan wedding party
in an attack on a village in Uruzgan province on Monday, residents said.
-
- They said the bombing occurred 105 miles northeast of
the southwestern city of Kandahar at about 1 a.m. local time.
-
- Afghan President Hamid Karzai told the local Bakhtar
Information Agency the "sudden attack" happened in the Dehrawud
district of Uruzgan province.
-
- "We are trying to organize aid and a commission
has gone there headed by the ministry of frontiers affairs," he said.
-
- Residents said between 120 and 150 people were either
killed or wounded. There have been several reports of U.S. mistakenly attacking
civilian targets since Washington's bombing offensive started in Afghanistan
on Oct. 7 last year.
