...The "friendly fire" incident occurred during a NATO operation in Kandahar Province's Panjwayi District after ground troops requested air support, NATO said.
The alliance said in a statement that the International Security Assistance Force provided the support but "regrettably engaged friendly forces during a strafing run, using cannons." It later identified the planes as U.S. A-10 Thunderbolts. An American military spokesman, Sergeant Chris Miller, confirmed that American planes were involved. An investigation of the incident has been started.
