US to review Afghan air strikesMonday, May 11, 2009
Gen David Petraeus, head of US Central Command, said "tactical actions" should not undermine strategic goals. His comments came after Afghan President Hamid Karzai said US air strikes that kill civilians were damaging the fight against terrorism. Washington again expressed regret over recent civilian deaths, but refused to rule out such strikes in the future. On Sunday, hundreds of university students in the Afghan capital, Kabul, protested against air strikes last week targeting Taleban fighters in the western Farah province. Afghan sources said nearly 150 had been killed, but that figure has been disputed by the US. BBC News |
