KABUL (Reuters) - U.S. troops fired into a crowd of hundreds of stone-throwing rioters, killing at least three Afghans, as their convoy left the scene of an accident that triggered Monday's anti-American riots, Kabul's chief of highway police said.
General Amanullah Gozar told Reuters on Thursday he witnessed the entire incident, from the point when a U.S. military truck ran out of control down a hill, crashing into vehicles and killing at least five people, to the clashes afterwards, when U.S. troops opened fire.
"As a result of their firing, one young boy and two other people were killed," Gozar said.
