Ambush in Afghanistan leaves 16 dead POSTED: 9:05 a.m. EST, March 4, 2007 Story Highlights• Coalition military convoy in Afghanistan attacked with bomb and gunfire • 16 civilians killed and 25 injured in the aftermath of the attack cnn.com KABUL, Afghanistan (CNN) -- Sixteen Afghan civilians were killed and 25 others wounded in the aftermath of a suicide attack and ambush on a coalition military convoy in eastern Afghanistan Sunday, a joint forces military statement said. According to the coalition, the attack was a "complex ambush" with the convoy coming under small-arms fire from several directions after the initial bombing in Nangarhar province, near Jalalabad. "We regret the death of innocent Afghan citizens as a result of the Taliban extremists' cowardly act," said Lt. Col. David Accetta. "Once again the terrorists demonstrated their blatant disregard for human life by attacking coalition forces in a populated area, knowing full well that innocent Afghans would be killed and wounded in the attack." Maj. William Mitchell, a U.S. military spokesman, told AP that militants fired guns at the soldiers from three different points, meaning Afghan civilians could have been killed or wounded by militants. "We certainly believe it's possible that the incoming fire from the ambush was wholly or partly responsible for the civilian casualties," he said. Read more at: CNN....
