On Wednesday eight Afghan children were killed in a NATO air strike in Kapisa province.

The UN's Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) recently said that more than 3,021 Afghans have been killed in 2011 conflict.
The deaths in 2011 compared with 2,790 in 2010 and 2,412 in 2009 showed that most of the deaths were caused by insurgents, the report found.
It was the fifth straight year that the toll has risen, with a total of 11,864 civilian lives claimed by the conflict since 2007.
Taliban-led insurgents caused 77 percent of the deaths last year, up to 14 percent from 2010, while NATO-led and Afghan government forces were responsible for killing 410 civilians -14 percent of the total, it added.
The UN said that improvised explosive devices (IEDs) were being used more widely and suicide attacks had become deadlier.
"The tactics of choice of anti-government elements subjected Afghan civilians to death and injury with increasingly lethal results in 2011," it said.
The report also said that civilian deaths in air strikes in support of the Afghan government rose in 2011.
"Afghan children, women and men continue to be killed in this war in ever-increasing numbers," the UN Special Representative in Afghanistan Jan Kubis recently said.
The UN Human Rights committee is worried over the civilian casualties that continued to rise year after year.
It comes as NATO is due to leave Afghanistan by the end of 2014 after Afghan security forces will take over full security responsibility.
There are around 130,000 foreign troops in Afghanistan, 90,000 of them are US forces fighting insurgents.
