Afghan officials have said a U.S. airstrike has killed 17 villagers — including women and children. The U.S. confirmed civilians had died but maintained the target was a known Taliban compound. President Hamid Karzai condemned the attack. His chief of staff said, “There is no way … the killing of civilians can be justified. … It’s the terrorists we are fighting. It’s not our people who should suffer.”
