Afghan President Hamid Karzai accused the United States of launching a drone strike that killed a 2-year-old child on Thursday, and vowed to not sign a long-term security agreement if such attacks continued.
“This attack shows that American forces are not respecting the life and safety of Afghan people’s houses,” Karzai said. “Our innocent people have become victims of the war under the name of terrorism and they have had no safety in their homes.”
Karzai said a suspected U.S. “pilot-less aircraft” fired into a house killing the child and wounding two women.
The U.S. Embassy in Kabul referred questions to the international coalition.
