Press TV January 30, 2010 Afghanistan calls for trial of US troops Afghanistan's Defense Ministry has condemned the killing of four Afghan soldiers by American forces, calling for those responsible to be brought to justice. In a statement released on Saturday, the ministry said that American troops killed at least four Afghan soldiers in Wardak province Friday night, a Press TV correspondent reported. Provincial spokesman Shahidullah Shahid said that the troops with the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) also injured seven other Afghan soldiers in face-to-face battles. He added that the fighting occurred Friday evening in Sayed Abad district, in Wardak province. The cause of the clash has yet to be determined. The ministry called for a thorough investigation into the incident, saying "the murderers" should be tried and punished accordingly. The NATO-led ISAF confirmed on Saturday that an "incident" had taken place between Western and Afghan security forces, but declined to give further details. "We are working with the Ministry of Defense to determine the facts of the incident," said US Army Lieutenant Nico Melendez, a spokesman for the force. =========================== Stop NATO http://groups.yahoo.com/group/stopnato Blog site: http://rickrozoff.wordpress.com/ To subscribe, send an e-mail to: rwroz...@yahoo.com or stopnato-subscr...@yahoogroups.com Daily digest option available. ==============================
