KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) - Afghanistan's President Hamid Karzai on Sunday urged U.S.-led forces to use "extreme caution" in their pursuit of Taliban and al-Qaida militants after at least two civilians were killed in an airstrike.
While the Afghan government is committed to helping foreign forces fight terrorism, it is also "aware of its responsibility to the Afghan people to ensure their safety," Karzai's office said in a statement.
"The government therefore advises extreme caution to be exercised by all forces while carrying out counter-terrorist operations in civilian areas," the statement said.
