At least eight policemen and two civilians have been killed during an operation by US-led coalition troops in central Afghanistan. The officers died in the village of Ghariban in Ghazni province during an operation that included US ground forces and airstrikes, said the deputy head of Ghazni's provincial council, Habeb-ul Rahman. It was unclear whether Afghan troops also took part in the raid, AP reported. Two villagers, including a woman, were killed in the clash, Rahman said. Among the officers killed was the former provincial deputy police chief, he added.
