Canadians kill police officer, injure six others in Afghanistan shootings
Edited on Sat Aug-26-06 11:20 AM by Spazito
KANDAHAR, Afghanistan (CP) - Canadian soldiers have killed an Afghan National Police officer in one of two apparent friendly-fire shooting incidents in southern Afghanistan.

The Canadians later discovered that the truck was carrying Afghan police officers who were out of uniform.

A short time later, NATO says, a motorcycle carrying two people approached the same position at high speed.

Canadians once again opened fire, injuring both motorcyclists.

(So it seems the shooting of the men on the motorcycle was the second "mistake" made, not the first.)
