Afghan officials said yesterday that at least 17 civilians were killed in
a US-led bombing raid in southern Afghanistan. 
The victims were living in villages in the Baghran district of Helmand
province in southern Afghanistan, a Pashtun area where many had supported
the Taliban regime. 
Haji Mohammad Wali, a spokesman for the Helmand provincial authority, said
the relatives of the dead had been pouring into local government offices. 
"The people came crying, saying their relatives had died or were missing,"
he said. Their accounts suggested that mostly women and children had been
killed. 
US military officials based at Bagram, north of Kabul, said they had been
conducting an operation along a mountain ridgeline in Helmand targeting
suspected Taliban fighters. Colonel Roger King, a US military spokesman,
said he had no information about civilian casualties. 
If the account of civilian deaths proves accurate it would mark one of the
most serious bombing errors by the US military in Afghanistan for several
months. 
Last July, 48 people were killed and more than 100 injured when a US
gunship attacked a wedding party in Uruzgan province in central
Afghanistan, the home of the Taliban leader Mullah Mohammed Omar. 
At the time the US military insisted its aircraft had come under fire and
since then American soldiers patrolling in the Pashtun areas of southern
Afghanistan have faced growing resentment and guerrilla attacks. 
US officials said the latest raids in Helmand began on Monday when ground
troops saw 25 Taliban fighters taking up offensive positions. The men were
armed with Kalashnikov assault rifles and rocket-propelled grenades. 
The troops called in B52 and B1 bombers which targeted the ridgeline for
eight hours with 2,000-pound JDAM "smart" bombs. A Danish F-16 was also
involved in the raid, dropping a 500-pound GBU-12 bomb. 
On Tuesday after the bombing, US troops arrested 12 armed men believed to
be Taliban suspects near the village of Lejay in the Baghran valley, Col
King said. He said the operation, code-named Eagle Fury, was still under
way. 
"The intensity to a certain extent depends upon on the enemy," he said.
"If the enemy presents itself in a posture to attack us, then we will
engage them." 
Jilani Khan, who runs a money-changing business in Baghran, near the site
of the bombing, said US and Afghan soldiers had cordoned off the area. He
said American soldiers had told villagers they were hunting for Mullah
Omar. 
In Helmand, Mr Wali said he had passed the accounts of civilian deaths to
the central government in Kabul. There had been more bombing in the area
on Tuesday night, he said, but it was unclear if there had been more
