Kabul, Afghanistan : Police and U.S.-led forces attacked insurgents planting a roadside bomb in eastern Afghanistan, killing one insurgent but also two civilians,
officials said Monday.
Zalmay Dadak, mayor of Khogyani district of Nangarhar province, said police fatally shot one suspect shortly before midnight Sunday and gave chase to the others.
A helicopter from the U.S.-led coalition fired at the insurgents, but also hit a house in a village, killing a man and a young child, Dadak said.
Some villagers mounted a protest Monday morning against the civilian deaths and officials were trying to placate them, Dadak was quoted as saying by the Associated Press.
