Afghan election campaign workers 'killed in air strike'
Ten election campaign workers have been killed in an air strike by Nato-led forces in Afghanistan, officials say.
The governor of the northern province of Takhar, Abduljabar Taqwa, told the BBC that two people were also wounded in the attack in the Rostaq district.
President Hamid Karzai condemned the incident, saying that "pro-democracy people should be distinguished from those who fight against democracy".
A Nato spokesman said a "precision air strike" had hit a militant's vehicle.
I find this report distressing. It seems the allied occupying forces in Afghanistan
can choose to kill anyone with impunity.
I also find Hamid Karzai's statement (if he did say this) to be chillingly inane.
