2 British Peacekeepers Sent Home From Afghanistan VOA News 19 Feb 2002 16:30 UTC 
Two British peacekeepers who allegedly fired at a car carrying a pregnant woman have returned home amid accusations the shooting was unprovoked. The woman's brother-in-law was killed in the shooting.
A spokesman for the British peacekeeping force says both Afghan and British police are investigating the shooting, but the soldiers will answer questions only from British police.
The pre-dawn incident last week in Kabul sparked anger among Afghans, who say the soldiers fired without provocation at a car that violated a night-time curfew as it raced to take a pregnant woman to a hospital.
The British-led multinational peacekeeping force in Afghanistan is confined to the capital. However, the interim Afghan government wants peacekeepers to be deployed in all major areas to boost security throughout the country.
Meanwhile, a U.S. army general is in Kabul to launch a mission to build an Afghan national army and end decades of warlord rule. Major General Charles Campbell, who is leading a 15 member team, arrived in Kabul Monday.
General Campbell is to draw up recommendations on ways to assemble and train an Afghan army and send the report to General Tommy Franks, the overall commander of U.S. military operations in South Asia and the Middle East.
