| 3 Americans, 5 Afghans killed in friendly fire |
| 2001-12-05 |
| American bombs accidentally killed three U.S. servicemen and injured 19 others in southern Afghanistan. Five anti-Taliban Afghans were killed and several wounded. The friendly fire incident happened when a B-52 seeking to target enemy Taliban forces dropped a 2,000-pound bomb too close to opposition forces and their American advisers north of Kandahar. |
