Afghan officials say 11 people have been killed in clashes and air strikes north of Kabul, and that civilians may be among the dead. Afghanistan's Ministry of Defense says more than 10 people were killed in a clash Saturday near Kapisa, about 60 kilometers (40 miles) north of Kabul. The ministry didn not say if those killed were militants or civilians, the Associated Press reported. Rahimullah Safi, deputy governor of Kapisa province, said Sunday 11 people were killed and that all were civilians. But the provincial police chief, Matiullah Safi, says it wasn't yet clear if the dead were militants or civilians. The U.S.-led coalition says there were airstrikes in the region, but no civilian casualties.
