At least 19 civilians have been killed by a Nato airstrike in southern Afghanistan, officials have said.

Nato has confirmed firing on a group of vehicles it believed contained insurgents.

The organisation says it only discovered later that women and children were on board.

It has not said how many people were killed or wounded in the incident.

The head of the provincial council for Uruzgan province said 19 people had died.

They were in three minibuses hit by Nato jets as they drove along a main road.

1. That's enough. No more shooting anything for the next six months.

That's all I ask. Six months of perfectly reasonable combat and self control. Six months. NOBODY TOUCHES ANYTHING THAT EXPLODES.

I don't think I'm being unfair.

9. Nato airstrike kills 27 civilians in Afghanistan

Nato forces in southern Afghanistan bombed a civilian convoy, killing 27 people including women and children and injuring many more, Afghan officials said.

The airstrike in a remote part of Oruzgan province yesterday capped a bloody week for Afghan civilians that has seen some 60 innocent people killed by Nato weapons.

Afghanistan’s cabinet called the attack "unjustifiable" and condemned the raid "in the strongest terms possible".

Officials said three vehicles were bombed, killing at least 27 people, including four women and one child, while at least 12 others were injured. The death toll had earlier been put at 33.
