Helmandi was killed along with three militants who had seized the movie star on suspicion of spying for the government in Helmand province, his brother Dilawar said.
Helmandi had gone to the Khoskabi area to inquire about his ailing sister when he was captured by the armed rebels, Dilawar told Pajhwok Afghan News.
The militants were interrogating Helmandi when the NATO air strike took place, killing the actor and the rebels, said Dilawar, who identified his brother's body mutilated beyond recognition.
The police headquarters confirmed the air strike, saying a local rebel commander, Mohammad Alam, was among those killed.

Another shining example of the brave Western lads, in their killing machines, saving Afghans, they have never seen, from a dreadful fate. I think the best we can say is that CentCom must improve, although we have waited nearly 13 years for it to happen.
who identified his brother’s body mutilated beyond recognition
identified & beyond recognition: How can you use these two in the same sentence?
Either he was mutilated beyond recognition and hence not identified, Or he was mutilated but recognisable and hence identified?
To rescue the hostage they killed the hostage? wow
Funny thing is the above picture shows a MEDEVE Helicopter. These are used to evacuate injured from the war zone.
