An investigation is under way after four civilians were apparently killed 
and three injured in Afghanistan in a rocket attack by British troops.

The incident involving the 2nd Battalion of the Parachute Regiment happened 
on Saturday in the Sangin district of Helmand province.

An International Security Assistance Force (Isaf) spokesman said the patrol 
launched the rockets in self-defence.

The Ministry of Defence said a full investigation would be carried out.
