Dozens of protesting villagers brought the bodies this morning from their village to the governor’s house in Kandahar City, about 12 kilometers away.
ISAF said it is investigating the incident.
A tribal elder, Haji Bacha, told Pajhwok Afghan News that foreign fighter jets had bombarded a house in their village, killing four people and injuring two others.
The village residents came to the city with the bodies and laid them in front of the governor’s house, chanting slogans against US forces. They demanded that the government investigate the attack.
