... In Kabul, hundreds of protesters blocked a road, accusing foreign
troops of killing three members of a family, including two children, in a raid earlier in the day.

The U.S. military said it had nothing to do with the incident.

Residents said troops carried out a pre-dawn raid in the Hud Kheil area in eastern Kabul, killing a man identified by neighbours as Noorullah and two of his sons.

"They threw hand grenades on one house and killed three family members," Sulaiman, a resident, said. Noorullah's wife was wounded, he said.
