Afghans protest over Farah deaths

Afghans have staged an angry protest following the suspected deaths of up to 100 civilians in a US-led air raid in western Farah province.Shots were fired on Thursday as the demonstrators threw stones at government offices in the town of Farah, the provincial capital.Several people were wounded in the melee, Gul Ahmad Ayubi, a health department official, said.The protest came as a team of US and Afghan government investigators arrived in the Bala Baluk district to gather more information about Monday's incident.Police and Rohul Amin, the governor of Farah, say they have received information that suggests more than 100 people could have been killed when US-led forces launched the raids on two villages.If the casualties are confirmed, it would be the largest loss of civilian life in a single attack since US troops invaded Afghanistan in 2001.
