  Hamid Karzai has condemned the deaths of civilians who were killed by “unilateral operations” carried out by US airstrikes. This isn’t the first time Karzai has publicly responded to civilians death from American airstikes. Last year Karzai told 60 Minutes:

  “The United States and the Coalition Forces are not doing that deliberately. The United States is here to help the Afghan people. The Afghan people understand that mistakes are made. But five years on, six years on, definitely, very clearly, they cannot comprehend as to why there is still a need for air power…”

  The US have deny killing civilians, and even the White House has intervened to pass comment on the incident. The only problem is there is little reason to believe what the US has to say about civilian deaths from its operations.
