TARIN KOT , Afghanistan, Sept. 19 (UPI) -- At least eight Afghan police officers were killed in misdirected U.S. airstrikes in Afghanistan's volatile Uruzgan province, Afghan officials said.
A police post on the main road to Tirin Kot, the provincial capital, was under assault Sunday by Taliban forces when an airstrike hit the post instead of the attackers, Abudul Qawe Omari, deputy provincial police chief, said.
