Kabul, Apr 5 NATO forces have admitted killing three women in a bungled raid on a village in Afghanistan earlier this year, after initially denying involvement.
The NATO International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) said in a statement late Sunday that its troops were responsible for the women's deaths in a village near Gardez, the capital of eastern Paktya province, on February 12.
Two newspapers, the New York Times and Britain's The Times, said today that the foreign troops involved in the shooting were members of US special forces who tried to cover up the deaths by removing bullets from the bodies.
ISAF had no immediate comment on the nationality of the troops or the cover-up claims, when contacted by AFP.
