Coalition Air Raid Kills 8
A U.S.-led coalition airstrike hit an Afghan army checkpoint early Wednesday, killing eight soldiers and wounding four, Afghan officials said.
The attack occurred in the Sayed Kheil area of Khost province in eastern Afghanistan, said Arsallah Jamal, the province's governor.
The potential friendly-fire incident could further strain relations between the government of President Hamid Karzai and its foreign supporters.
Col. Greg Julian, the chief spokesman for the U.S. military in Afghanistan, said there was an incident in the area but did not provide details.
