At least seven children were killed in a US-led coalition air strike on a religious school in Afghanistan, the coalition said yesterday, amid rising anger over civilian deaths from foreign military operations.

Violence has surged in recent months after the traditional winter lull, with foreign forces launching attacks against Taliban strongholds in the south and east and Taliban guerrillas hitting back with suicide bombings.

The air strike on the school occurred on Sunday, the same day a suspected suicide bomber killed more than 20 people in an attack on a police bus in the heart of Kabul.
