Ten Afghan civilians were killed Thursday in a NATO airstrike on three vehicles carrying election campaign workers in northern Afghanistan, President Hamid Karzai said in a statement. Karzai strongly condemned the incident, in a statement confirming earlier reports of an airstrike in which election workers were killed in Takhar province. "In the war on terror, pro-democracy people should be distinguished from those who fight against democracy," the statement quoted him as saying.
