Afghan Officials Say U.S. Bombing Kills 11

KANDAHAR, Afghanistan (AP) -- A U.S. helicopter attacked a house in a village in southern Afghanistan, killing 11 people, four of them children, Afghan officials said Monday.
There was no immediate comment from the U.S. military.
The attack occurred at around 4 a.m. Sunday, a day after U.S. forces hunting for Taliban insurgents had searched Saghatho village, where the home is located, said Abdul Rahman, chief of Char Chino district in Uruzgan province.
``They were simple villagers, they were not Taliban. I don't know why the U.S. bombed this home. We have informed our authorities,'' he told The Associated Press by telephone in the southern city of Kandahar.
Maj. Steven R. Moon, a spokesman for the U.S. military in Kabul, had no immediate comment.
The governor of Uruzgan, Jan Mohammed Khan, confirmed Rahman's account that four men, four children and three women were killed in a U.S. bombing.
He said U.S. authorities had told him they seen ammunition in their search of the village, which apparently raised suspicions. During the search, ``the people were afraid, they started running,'' Khan said.
``The Americans bombed this home,'' he said.
Rahman said the 11 victims were buried Sunday in the village, where residents were ``very afraid and very angry.''
About 100 Afghan forces and between 20 and 30 U.S. soldiers have arrested 10 suspects in an operation in the Mahmara and Saghatho areas of Char Chino district in the past two days, he said.
