Afghanistan\'s government has condemned a Nato air strike on a convoy of vehicles in the south of the country, which killed at least 27 civilians.



Officials say Sunday\'s attack, in Uruzgan province, was not part of a major Nato-led push in neighbouring Helmand province.



After initial reports put the death-toll at 33, a revised statement lowered the figure to 27, including four women and one child.



Civilian deaths in strikes have caused widespread resentment in Afghanistan.
