Afghans Rally Against U.S. After Strike Kills Two Associated Press Monday, February 2, 2009; Page A08 KABUL, Feb. 1 -- Hundreds of Afghans demonstrated Sunday against an overnight U.S. military raid that one villager said killed several civilians, the latest incident to stir up Afghan ire against foreign forces accused of killing bystanders. The American military said its forces killed two insurgents. Also Sunday, a suicide bomber in a car attacked a convoy of foreign troops in Kabul, the capital, wounding two Afghans, police said. Taliban fighters asserted responsibility for the attack. It was not clear whether the bomber hit the convoy. Representatives for NATO and U.S. troops said they were checking the report. The U.S. military said the overnight raid in southeastern Ghazni province targeted an insurgent who coordinates attacks using roadside bombs and other weapons. It said coalition forces conducting the operation called out for all inhabitants to leave the targeted home, but several people barricaded themselves inside one building. Coalition troops forced their way in and killed two insurgents, the U.S. military said in a statement. Sayed Ismail Jahangir, a spokesman for Ghazni's governor, said officials also reported that two people were killed. Protesters gathered near the site of the raid on the main highway linking Kabul and the southern city of Kandahar.
