[1]Militants have attacked an Afghan government delegation visiting the site in one of the two villages in southern Afghanistan where a U.S. soldier is suspected of killing 16 civilians.
The attackers opened fire at the delegation from several sides on Tuesday.
An Associated Press reporter witnessed the attack, which is still under way. It's unclear if anyone has been wounded or killed.
The delegation includes two of Afghan President Hamid Karzai's brothers and senior security officials.
