PressTV - US-led airstrike kills 37 Afghan civilians: "NATO has confirmed the incident, claiming that they were targeting “a prominent Taliban militant,” a Press TV correspondent reported.
Several women and children were among those killed in the attack on Kunar province.
Local residents say the airstrike targeted homes in the area and all those killed were civilians.
NATO, however, claims that 30 militants died in the attack.
Similar attacks have claimed the lives of hundreds of Afghan civilians over the past year.
More than 2,400 civilians lost their lives in 2010 -- making it the deadliest year since the 2001 US-led invasion of Afghanistan.
