A bus and a U.S. military vehicle collided Saturday in southern Afghanistan, killing 10 Afghan civilians, police and defense officials said.

A U.S. military spokesman in Kabul, Lt. Col. Jerry O'Hara, said he had not heard of a crash involving a U.S. military vehicle, but there was one involving an Afghan army truck in the district. It was not clear if they were the same incident.

The collision occurred on the highway from the southern city of Kandahar to the Pakistani border in the district of Spin Boldak, district police chief Abdul Wasai said. He said no American casualties were reported.

It's hard to believe that with all of America's advanced communication equipment all linked to a central commands centers... they honestly "had not heard of"?
