Karzai Condemns Deaths of Civilians
-----------------------------------



Afghan President Hamid Karzai has condemned international forces for
allegedly killing ten civilians in military operations in the eastern
Afghan region of Kunar. Karzai said most of the dead were schoolboys.
NATO officials disputed Karzai’s account, saying the target of the
attack was a group of Taliban militants.
