Karzai 'demands' Obama end civilian deaths
Afghan President Hamid Karzai made an immediate demand of Barack Obama today, saying the president-elect must prevent civilian casualties as Afghan villagers alleged that airstrikes killed or wounded dozens of women and children in a wedding party.
No Afghan officials could immediately confirm the number of alleged casualties, but President Karzai referred to the incident at a news conference held to congratulate Mr Obama on his US presidential election victory.
