“The area, Lowar-e-Dowahom, was often patrolled by international troops, a spokesman said. ‘They saw two young children who were apparently listening to a radio and they shot them – it is not yet clear why,’ the spokesman said.  Australian forces deployed in Uruzgan said earlier there had been an ‘operational incident’ in the province’s northwest but gave no details except that no soldiers were harmed.  On 13 February a Nato air strike requested by Afghan forces killed 10 people – including five children and four women – in the eastern province of Kunar, prompting Karzai to ban his troops from requesting foreign air strikes.”
