"Citing civilian casualties from so-called "night raids" on Afghan homes by U.S. special operations forces, Karzai has delayed signing the 10-year agreement even after agreeing to the proposed 24-page text. He indicated that he considered Thursday’s airstrike sufficient cause to scrap the accord altogether.
Karzai said a child was killed and two women badly wounded in the airstrike, and coalition officials did not dispute him.
"This attack shows that American forces do not respect the safety of the Afghan people in their homes,’’ Karzai said in a statement in Dari on his presidential website Thursday night."
