[Barry Stoller]

Ananova. 27 October 2001. US jet 'hits Northern Alliance area.'

A US fighter jet is reported to have killed an Afghan family after
mistakenly firing on territory controlled by the Northern Alliance.

Sky News reports that an F-18 Hornet hit the village of Ghanikhil inside
Northern Alliance territory.

The missile apparently destroyed a house, killing a family of 10.

Villagers said 19 civilians and one Northern Alliance soldier had been
wounded.

The American military says it is targeting very precisely but has also
previously acknowledged that some bombs have gone astray and caused some
civilian casualties.
