Afghan probe finds U.S. killed 10
KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) -- An American airstrike in an Afghan village earlier this month killed 10 civilians, President Hamid Karzai has said.

The U.S. military had said it killed five militants during a January 17 raid against suspected Taliban leaders in southern Uruzgan province and insisted it fired only on armed men.

But Karzai said an Interior Ministry investigation into the attack, some 400 kilometers (250 miles) southwest of the capital, Kabul, established that 10 civilians had died.
