Afghanistan Warns NATO To End Attacks On Homes Following Spike in Civilian Deaths 
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Afghan President Hamid Karzai has warned NATO forces to stop attacking
Afghan homes after 12 children and two women were killed in a NATO air
strike in Nawzad Province on Sunday. Karzai said the Afghan people can
no longer accept the air strikes and house raids.

Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai: "We must clearly demonstrate our
understanding that Afghanistan is an ally, not an occupied country. And
our treatment with NATO is from the point of view of an ally, if it
turns to the other, to the behavior of an occupation, that of course the
Afghan people know how to deal with that."
