Afghanistan: At least 15 Afghan civilians were killed when an American soldier walked out of a military base in a rural district of southern Afghanistan and opened fire on three nearby houses, local villagers said yesterday.
In a statement, the US military said one of its service members had been detained after an incident in Kandahar Province, in the south of the country, and said there were civilian casualties but gave no more details.
''This is a deeply regrettable incident and we extend our thoughts and concerns to the families involved,'' NATO's International Security Assistance Force said in a statement.
