KABUL, Afghanistan — Firing from NATO helicopters in an eastern province Friday killed six Afghan militiamen who had allegedly shot at the aircraft, an Afghan official said.

The incident in Khost province sparked angry protests. Hundreds of villagers shouting "Death to America" and "Long live the Taliban" carried the bodies to the provincial governor's home to protest, said Youqib Khan, the deputy provincial police chief.

"What I confirm now is six local security forces were killed by NATO's helicopters. NATO told us the militiamen fired first. We don't know who to blame," Khan said.

Death to Islam , Long live America!
