Karzai blames US

PRESIDENT Hamid Karzai says both Taliban insurgents and the US military are to blame for an airstrike that killed 17 people, including a dozen children, during a fierce battle in eastern Afghanistan.

Karzai made his comments yesterday after an Afghan investigation into the April 6 attack raised the civilian death toll from 11 to 17, including 12 children, four women and one innocent man. An American civilian adviser was also killed during the fighting in the Shigal district of Kunar province.
