JALALABAD, Afghanistan (Reuters) - U.S.-led forces killed seven Afghan policemen, an official said on Tuesday, and three people were shot dead at a NATO checkpoint, raising concern about mistaken fire incidents in Afghanistan. snip

The policemen were killed in an air strike after the Taliban stormed police posts late on Monday in Khogiani district of the eastern province of Nangarhar, district police chief Adel Balwal told Reuters.

Police sent reinforcements and called for help from U.S. forces, he said. "In the coalition bombing, seven policemen lost their lives."

A U.S. military spokesman said he was aware of the raid but had no other details.
