11 dead, over 50 hurt in Afghan demo

KUNDUZ: At least 11 people were killed and more than 50 others were injured in violent demonstrations in Afghanistan on Wednesday over the deaths of four people in a NATO raid, an official said.

"Now we have 11 dead and over 50 other people admitted with injuries to hospital," acting provincial health director, Hassan Basij, told AFP.

The demonstrations took place in Taloqan, capital of the northeastern Takhar province, after NATO-led forces said they killed four insurgents including two armed women in an overnight raid in the town. The protesters said those killed were civilians.
