阿富汗政府说，北约在阿富汗南部的一次空袭造成27名平民死亡。
阿富汗部长委员会星期一发表声明，谴责这一事件“没有正当性”。稍早的报导说，有33人被炸死，但有关官员把死亡人数修正为27人。
北约说，空袭的目标是据信正在行军途中准备袭击联军部队的反叛分子。北约的声明说，他们空袭后发现了妇女和儿童，并将他们运送到医疗设施治疗。
同时，在阿富汗东部，警方说，一名自杀式炸弹手炸死至少14人，包括一名有影响力的部落领袖。
楠格哈尔省的警方说，这次炸弹袭击的目标是一个部落长老会议。
The Afghan government says a NATO airstrike has killed 27 civilians in southern Afghanistan.
The Council of Ministers released a statement Monday condemning the incident as “unjustifiable.” Early reports said 33 died, but officials later lowered the number to 27.
NATO said the airstrike targeted insurgents who were believed to be traveling to attack allied troops. A NATO statement said that after the strike NATO forces found women and children and transported them to medical facilities.
In eastern Afghanistan, meanwhile, police say a suicide bomber killed at least 14 people, including an influential tribal leader.
Police in Nangarhar province said the attacker targeted a meeting of tribal elders.
