Second member of missing elite US military team found

A second member of a US special operations team missing since last week has been located in a house in remote eastern Afghanistan and is wounded, the provincial governor said today, a day after another US soldier was rescued in the same area.

Kunar Gov. Asadullah Wafa also said an American airstrike in the province last week had killed 17 civilians, including women and children. The US military confirmed some civilians died in the strike on what it called a known terrorist target, but said the numbers were not clear.
