KABUL — A helicopter-borne special operations mission by U.S. troops and Afghan forces early Saturday killed five people one province south of Kabul, sparking an angry protest from villagers who said the victims were civilians.
The U.S. military said that the combined forces called for suspects in a house to surrender but that militants opened fire. It said the mission targeted the leader of a roadside- bomb-making cell.
However, a spokesman for the governor of Logar province said a government delegation traveled to the site and confirmed that five civilians had been killed.
