He said that the US hadn’t coordinated the air attacks with local security officials in Azizabad village.

He said “at least 70 innocent civilians, most of them women and children” were killed.

Karzai said in a statement that the Afghan government would soon announce “necessary measures” to prevent civilian casualties in the future.

He has long demanded that US and NATO officials take care to not harm civilians during their military operations, an issue that undermines the Afghan government and causes great anger in Afghan villages.
