| Nine boys collecting firewood to heat their homes in the eastern Afghanistan mountains were killed by NATO helicopter gunners who mistook them for insurgents, NATO said in a statement apologising for the mistake.
President Hamid Karzai, in London for an official visit, condemned the attack ''in the strongest terms possible''.
The alliance confirmed that nine civilians had been killed, but did not address the assertion by the Afghan government that the dead were children. A NATO statement said a communications error led to helicopter and artillery attacks on the wrong target. Advertisement: Story continues below
The boys, who were aged nine to 15, were attacked on Tuesday in what amounted to one of the war's worst cases of mistaken killings by foreign-led forces. The victims included two sets of brothers. A 10th boy survived.
