| Afghan police alleged on Thursday that international troops had shot dead an Afghan district governor and two of his men after mistaking them for Taliban. President Hamid Karzai expressed sorrow over the killing, which he called a 'misunderstanding', and said the district chief and another man killed in a Taliban bombing on Thursday had been his close associates. The NATO-led multinational force said it was investigating the shooting late on Wednesday in Uruzgan. Chora Governor Rozi Khan and two of his men were killed as they went to the aid of a friend, believing the Taliban had surrounded his home, police commander Gulab Khan said. |
