Karzai marks 9/11 with call to end civilian deaths
Afghan President Hamid Karzai on the ninth anniversary of the September 11 attacks urged NATO to focus on the sources of terrorism and avoid civilian casualties. He said the insurgency’s origins lie beyond Afghanistan and condemned civilian deaths as undermining support for the war. NATO and U.S. forces reported destroying enemy positions in Kandahar and a road attack near Senjeray wounded six children and killed their parents.

Lack of a central lead agency and limited dump sites hinder coordinated removal despite $98.5 million from USAID and the Defense Department removing 1.2 million cubic yards.
