KABUL, Afghanistan, Nov. 23 - U.S. officials Saturday denied allegations from Afghan President Hamid Karzai that American troops were responsible for killing two Afghan civilians. John D. Manley, a spokesman for the American-led International Security Assistance Forces, denied any civilians were killed in the operation. "Afghan national security forces and a coalition adviser engaged and killed two armed insurgents after being fired upon in Bati Kot District," Manley said. "Unfortunately some people are using allegations of civilian casualties for political purposes," an ISAF official said, speaking on condition of anonymity as a matter of official policy.
