Karzai slams deadly NATO airstrike

Sep 7, 2009, 8:08 GMT

Paris - Last week's NATO airstrike in Afghanistan that killed dozens of people was a gross error of judgment, Afghan President Hamid Karzai said in an interview published Monday in the French daily Le Figaro. 'What an error of judgment. More than 90 deaths for a simple lorry, which was moreover immobilized in a riverbed. Why didn't they send ground troops to recover the fuel tank?' Karzai said. Depending on the source, between 50 to more than 120 people were killed in Friday's bombardment of two fuel lorries reportedly seized by the Taliban. In addition to dozens of Taliban fighters, an unknown number of civilians were also killed in the airstrike.
