A United States-led coalition warplane mistakenly dropped a bomb on an Afghan police convoy in eastern Afghanistan on Thursday, killing 12 police officers, a police commander said.

The bomb struck a patrol in eastern Paktika province, provincial border police regiment commander Abdul Hamid said.
"They came under US bombardment and 12 police officers were killed, including the police commander," he said.
