Karzai Lashes Out at Western Nations
------------------------------------



The killings occur as tension mounts between Afghan President Hamid
Karzai and Western leaders. Last week Karzai issued a harsh rebuke of
Western and United Nations involvement in Afghanistan, criticizing what
he called “massive interference from foreigners." On Saturday, he
reportedly told a group of lawmakers, “If you and the international
community pressure me more, I swear that I am going to join the
Taliban.”
