A spokesman for the alliance, Brigadier Richard Nugee, said that NATO forces had killed a number of Afghan civilians during military operations last year, but that the alliance was working to change that in 2007.
Nugee said NATO forces have killed far fewer civilians than the Taliban, which significantly increased its attacks during the past year.
