US AIR strikes in western Afghanistan missed their target of a militant commander and instead killed 12 other militants and 10 civilians, provincial officials have claimed.The US military originally said the strike in Ghor province this week killed a warlord named Mullah Mustafa, but now says he apparently survived. "Credible reports surfaced that Mustafa survived the attack," it said.
The US said it was investigating reports that civilians had been killed.
The response came as NATO defence ministers meeting in Brussels were putting the final touches on a new command structure in Afghanistan tightening America's grip on military operations, reflecting the growing dominance of the US in the alliance's campaign there.
The plans, expected to be approved overnight, would separate military operations from training missions, putting three-star US generals in charge of both commands, according to diplomats. The generals would report to the new overall military commander in Afghanistan, General Stanley McChrystal, who will be responsible for the overall NATO strategy and who has been given extensive leeway by the US to pick his direct subordinates.
The US supplies 28,850 of the 61,130 troops in the NATO mission in Afghanistan, according to the alliance.
