Afghan leader, U.S.-led forces in new dispute over civilian deaths

Afghan leader, U.S.-led forces in new dispute over civilian deaths - latimes.com:

"In a statement Friday night on the Afghan presidential website, Karzai "condemned in the strongest terms an operation of American soldiers that killed two innocent civilians" in eastern Afghanistan's Nangarhar province.
The website attributed the information to the governor of Nangarhar. The Dari-language post said: "American special forces conducted an operation on a house of two brothers named Shaakrullah and Roshan in Bati Kot District and martyred those two," identified as a plumber and a mason.
The post said residents asked the government to prevent such incidents in the future or risk losing local support."
