Karzai says West had role in bank crisis, wants US ties reviewed
KABUL, April 11 (Reuters) – Afghan President Hamid Karzai
blamed the international community on Monday for playing a part
in a huge corruption scandal at the country’s biggest lender,
and called for a traditional “jirga” summit to review strategic
ties with the United States.
The gathering of hundreds of community leaders should be
held in around two or three months, he said, adding that
Afghanistan would not be dominated by the bigger power.
Initial reports from Kabul police slightly wrong, ISAF accident killed one woman, injured one woman and a child. No one shot dead.
@nickschifrin u don’t believe Helmand mobiles working again or don’t believe the reason? Call Helmand to check! Can’t vouch for reasons tho
@mattaikins and then several other incidents with one or two dead as well. certainly over 20 I’d guess
@mattaikins I don’t have total but yes 3 in Spanish incident (tho not troops – 2 police and 1 interpreter) and at least 2 in German one
@mattaikins well over a dozen — there were six US soldiers killed in just one incident last November, and five Brits in another late 2009
Helmand residents can use their mobiles again (some of the time) http://bit.ly/ftRTah
