Airstrike, bombing in Afghanistan cause deaths, officials say

Violence raged in Afghanistan over the last 24 hours, with reports of civilian deaths in an airstrike and soldier deaths in a bombing.

At least 14 civilians were killed and six others were injured Sunday in a coalition airstrike in Badghis province in the northwest, a senior Afghan police source said. NATO's International Security Assistance Force said an airstrike in the province killed three insurgents.

"We are aware of and are looking into the reports of civilian casualties," said Lt Col Jimmie Cummings, a spokesman for the NATO-led force.

In eastern Afghanistan, attackers killed three U.S. soldiers Monday, a Western official said.

    Any other context that would be called cold blooded murder.. but since "NATO" and the Osama Obama presidential drone killer is doing these atrocities, it's somehow good
