KABUL -  NATO forces accidentally shot dead two boys during an operation in Afghanistan’s south, the alliance said on Saturday, in the latest in a series of incidents involving allegations of civilian deaths at the hands of international troops.

The two boys were shot dead when they were mistaken for insurgents during an operation in the northwest of Uruzgan on February 28, ISAF commander, US General Joseph Dunford, said.

It is beyond disgusting that we are killing children in Afghanistan. And the "mistaken" comment just shows that they don't know who they are killing or bombing, in Afghanistan or anywhere else.
