KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) -- An American airstrike in an Afghan village earlier this month killed 10 civilians, President Hamid Karzai said Saturday.

The U.S. military had said it killed five militants during a Jan. 17 raid against suspected Taliban leaders in southern Uruzgan province and insisted it fired only on armed men.

But Karzai said an Interior Ministry investigation into the incident, 250 miles southwest of the capital, Kabul, established that 10 civilians had died.

... There was no immediate comment Saturday from the U.S. military.

You may want to rethink going against the official word of the United States or we may just have to reassign those armed guards that you've become so used to.
