An Afghan police official said Sunday that a U.S.-led coalition airstrike apparently targeting a suicide bomb cell in eastern Afghanistan killed three civilians but no militants. Elsewhere, insurgents killed a woman in charge of female police officers, the Associated Press reported. Gen. Abdul Jalal Jalal, the provincial police chief in the eastern province of Kunar, said airstrikes hit a compound in the province's Asmar district, killing three civilians. However, U.S. coalition spokesman Capt. Scott Miller said the only operation overnight was one district north of Asmar, in Nari.
