KABUL, June 16 (Reuters) - A U.S. soldier opened fire at the scene of a suicide bombing in the Afghan capital on Saturday, killing one civilian and wounding another, police said.

Ali Shah Paktiawal, chief of Kabul police's criminal branch, described the shooting as a "mistake". He gave no more details.

A U.S. military spokesman said U.S.-led coalition forces were still looking into the incident.

Paktiawal said the soldier had opened fire after a suicide bomber attacked a military-civilian convoy on the outskirts of Kabul, killing four civilians and wounding five people, including a foreign soldier.
