KABUL - Former Afghan President Hamid Karzai lashes out at America over airstrikes on civilians.

Former President Hamid Karzai strongly denounced US airstrikes launched against civilians in the western Farah province, in which a number of civilians including women and children were killed and wounded, TOLO News has reported.

The US air forces targeted residential houses in the Shivan area of Farah’s district of Bala Boluk this week. A number of women and children were among the dead, according to reports.

Karzai expressed his deepest concerns over civilian casualties, calling such strikes in contrast to the peace efforts.
