Afghan President decries killings as nine children die
Afghan President Hamid Karzai called the killings an assassination and demanded an explanation from Washington after nine children and three women were killed. NATO and allies said the incident harms trust but won’t delay the 2014 handover of security to Afghans. The shooter, a staff sergeant in Kandahar, faces pretrial confinement as Pentagon reviews his history. Panetta signaled the death penalty as a possible option. Opposition lawmakers urged suspending talks on a long term U.S. military presence until justice is certain.
