Nato 'kills cousin of Afghan President Hamid Karzai'

[HAIDER]

Warning for Karazi, straight up or..., if NATO can make this mistake then can make same mistake again inside presidential palace.

A relative of Afghan President Hamid Karzai has been mistakenly killed by Nato troops in southern Afghanistan, officials say.

Yar Muhammad Khan was at his home in Dand district near Kandahar city when he was shot dead in an overnight raid.

Nato says it is investigating the incident.

Hundreds of Afghans took to the streets of the capital, Kabul, last week to protest about civilian deaths at the hands of foreign forces.

''There were operations taking place near his house. He was killed by mistake. He was not a target," Ahmad Wali Karzai, the brother of President Karzai and head of Kandahar's provincial council, said.

It comes just days after President Karzai lashed out at US-led forces over the recent accidental killing of nine boys by US forces in eastern Kunar province.
Outrage

The man killed does not appear to have been a close relative of Hamid Karzai. He has been described by various sources as a cousin of President Karzai and a cousin of his father's.

However, President Karzai's spokesman said that the president knew the man and that they came from the same village.

"He was extremely sad, just as he's sad over any incident that takes the life of any innocent Afghan civilian," Waheed Omer said.

A record number of civilians were killed in Afghanistan last year. More than 2,700 civilians were killed in 2010 - up 15% on the year before.

A UN report on civilian deaths said that the Taliban were responsible for 75% of all deaths. The numbers killed by Afghan and Nato forces fell, accounting for 16% of civilian deaths.

But the BBC's Quentin Sommerville in Kabul says that public anger over the deaths of the nine boys in Kunar shows that the deaths of Afghans by foreign hands provokes even greater outrage than killings by the Taliban. BBC NEWS

Inhumanity form inhuman aggressors will cause same reaction but NATO very smoothly can blame over tribal areas of Pakistan for insurgents but they are unaware that main anti NATO resistance already is provoked by their own MISTAKES in Afghanistan.

NATO troops has to show numbers of killed Taliban or militants so it didn't make difference whom they killed, men, women, boys, child as alleged militants.

Mistakes resulting in civilian casualties happens in all major wars. That is one aspect that makes war so horrible. Yet as tragic as the recent events have been few express as much outrage towards the Afghan Taliban who according to the U.N. are responsible for 75% of civilian casualties in Afghanistan.

U.N. alarmed by surge in civilian casualties in Afghanistan
