Seven Afghan Children Killed in Strike on 'Al-Qaeda Hideout' Seven children were killed in an air strike on an Afghan religious school being used as an alleged Al-Qaeda safe house, the US-led coalition said Monday, raising fresh concerns over civilian casualties. The coalition said it had no idea children were in the compound in Paktika province, which it hit in an air raid late Sunday after information that Al-Qaeda fighters were there. "We had surveillance on the compound all day and saw no indications there were children inside the building," coalition spokesman Major Chris Belcher said.
