The protest was held in Gardez, the capital of Paktia Province. Protesters chanted slogans against the US for killing civilians.

The demonstration followed the killing of seven civilians in a US-led strike in the volatile region.

Sources say the protest in eastern Afghanistan turned violent, leaving at least six people wounded.

NATO blames the deaths on bad targeting and communication errors.

A recent UN report shows civilian deaths have jumped by 31 percent in the first half of 2010.
