KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) - NATO said Tuesday that it killed about 12 insurgents in an airstrike in southern Afghanistan, denying accusations from two Afghan lawmakers that civilians were among the dead.
The lawmakers, Dad Mohammad Khan and Mir Wali Khan were in the capital, Kabul, at the time of the strike and relied on reports from local Afghans about the airstrikes on Monday in the southern Helmand province.
NATO's International Security Assistance Force said the only people killed were militants who had fired on alliance troops.
