KABUL — NATO forces, acting on apparently faulty intelligence, killed two Afghan private-security guards and wounded three others in a gun battle early Friday that could lead to renewed criticisms of foreign forces by President Hamid Karzai.
The foreign troops were searching for two cars they had been told were packed with explosives and were going to be used in a car-bomb attack on the U.S. Embassy in Kabul, according to a statement from the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force. An ISAF representative said the battle started when troops took fire from a building near the lot where the cars were parked. In the end, no explosives were found.
