Karzai: No forgiveness for massacre

Moving from house to house, a US Army sergeant opened fire on Afghan villagers as they slept, killing 16 people – mostly women and children – in an attack that reignited fury at the US presence following a wave of deadly protests over Americans burning Korans.

The attack threatened the deepest breach yet in US-Afghan relations, raising questions both in Washington and Kabul about why American troops are still fighting in Afghanistan after 10 years of conflict and the killing of Osama bin Laden.
