Karzai sharply criticizes U.S. over shooting inquiry

By Around the Web

(NEW YORK TIMES) — President Hamid Karzai chastised the United States on Friday, saying that he was at “the end of the rope” over what he termed the United States’ lack of cooperation in investigating the American soldier accused of going on a rampage earlier this month and killing 16 civilians in southern Afghanistan.

Mr. Karzai had previously dispatched a delegation to investigate the killings in the Panjwai district of Kandahar Province, and he said on Friday that American officials did not cooperate with the Afghan inquiry. He made the comments after meeting at the presidential palace in Kabul with relatives of those killed.
