Kabul, 3rd May 2011: Five private security guards have been killed by a NATO air strike today.
Afghan police reported that the contractors were guarding a supply convoy for international troops. NATO confirmed the strike in Ghazni province but contradicted the police report by suggesting the attack was on suspected insurgents (terrorists in other words).
Afghan officials said there were no insurgents involved.
"This morning, there was some sort of incident between an American convoy and security guards from Watan Risk," said Zirawer Zahid, the police chief of Ghazni. He was referring to Watan Risk Management, a private company that supplies guards for convoys, offices and international organizations.
