World News NATO shoots Afghan preteen and infant, claims 24 Taliban dea

NATO troops killed a 12-year-old girl and wounded a 2-year-old girl when shooting at a civilian vehicle in Afghanistan on Thursday, police said. US-led occupation and government forces claim to have killed 24 suspected Taliban fighters when ambushed in the Helmand province. NATO and Afghan troops have killed scores of alleged militants since launching an offensive last month intended to support Pres. Hamid Karzai's shaky government. The effort has been marred by mounting civilian casualties, caused by coalition forces as well as militants.
