At least three civilians were killed in a weekend NATO raid on insurgents in Afghanistan, officials said today, as President Hamid Karzai condemned the operation "in the strongest possible terms".

NATO's US-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) said it "may be responsible" for the deaths of the three civilians during a raid in Baraki Barak district of restive Logar province, close to Kabul, on Saturday.

ISAF commander General John Allen offered his condolences to the victims' families in a statement issued by the coalition and said he would meet them personally to offer "condolence payments".
