Baby killed in Afghanistan attack
NATO has said a baby was killed during a night raid targeting militants in central Afghanistan.
The organization said a gunbattle broke out on Saturday night after a joint international-Afghan force came under fire from several locations as it approached a compound in Uruzgan province.
It said four suspected insurgents were also killed.
Sunday's statement said "one woman with minor wounds and a baby who suffered fatal injuries were found" after the fighting ended.
It said the civilian casualties occurred despite efforts to protect women and children at the compound.
US Army Col Wayne Shanks, a NATO spokesman, expressed regret for "this tragic loss of innocent life".
