Eleven Dead in Riot Outside German Camp in Afghanistan

An operation by US special forces prompted a violent demonstration outside a Bundeswehr camp in Afghanistan on Wednesday. US forces had killed four people that they had identified as insurgents. As part of the operation, whose aim was to seize a key member of the group, the soldiers surrounded a farmhouse. According to ISAF, a woman attacked the soldier with an AK-47 shortly afterwards. Later, more armed men ran out of the building and were shot. The ISAF statement did not make it clear whether the targeted member of the terrorist group was among the dead, however. ISAF assured it had done everything possible to protect civilians during the operation.
Eleven people were shot and at least 80 injured. Afghan authorities blame the Taliban for escalating the protests. Photo Gallery: Deadly Riot in Taloqan
