An Afghan government delegation came under gunfire today at a service for 16 villagers killed in a shooting spree by a US soldier, witnesses said.
The shooting was from a distance in the Panjwayi district of Kandahar province and nobody was hit, but the delegation cut short its visit, the witnesses said.
