An Afghan provincial police chief said Wednesday that investigations showed more than 100 "non-combatants" had been killed in US-led coalition air strikes in western Afghanistan. "We confirm that in the military operation the other night more than 100 non-combatants have been killed," Farah province police chief Abdul Ghafar Watandar told AFP, referring to strikes early Tuesday. "This information is based on the reports given to us by a delegation composed of ICRC (International Committee of the Red Cross) members and locals who went to the villages to investigate reports of civilian casualties."
