US drone strikes kill 23 Afghans in 48 hours...

Four separate US drone attacks have claimed the lives of nearly two dozen people in different regions of the war-ravaged Afghanistan over the past 48 hours, local security sources say.

According to local Afghan officials, at least ten people were killed as two airstrikes ripped through the eastern Kunar Province near the border with Pakistan.

Also on Friday, two people lost their lives in a similar attack in Nuristan Province.

Earlier, eleven people died and scores more were wounded in the southern province of Kandahar.

Washington claims its drone attacks target militants. But, reports on the ground say civilians frequently fall victims to such attacks as well as US-led nighttime raids. Full story...
