Afghan Gov't Condemns Deadly U.S. Raid 
---------------------------------------



The Afghan government meanwhile is condemning a U.S.-led NATO night raid
that killed two people in the capital of Kabul. U.S. officials say NATO
forces targeted a building based on credible intelligence on militant
activity. But the Afghan government says two security guards were killed
without provocation after foreign troops surrounded the compound. Afghan
presidential spokesperson Waheed Omer criticized the attack.

Waheed Omer: "This was an irresponsible way of dealing with an issue
within the Kabul city, and that was clearly conveyed and that was
discussed yesterday between us, our security council, and the commander
of NATO and other colleagues from international community yesterday."
