KABUL, Afghanistan — Dozens of protesters blocked a road Saturday in eastern Afghanistan, saying U.S.-led coalition forces killed three civilians, and a local official said police fatally shot one of the protesters.
Area villagers carried three bodies to a major highway during the protest. Police allegedly opened fire, killing one protester and wounding three.
The coalition said its troops were attacked Friday in the Shinwar district of Nangarhar province. “Several militants were killed” and nine insurgents were arrested, the coalition said Saturday. An Interior Ministry spokesman said the government is investigating the villagers’ claims.
