NATO Airstrike Said to Kill 7 Afghan Soldiers
  1. Once again, I request that they not to shed our youths' blood ... Those who were killed yesterday in the bombardment were poor police who were working with the government for only 5,000 Afghanis a month for their salary. They are those who had no choice to go to Iran or to work in another job.
