Nato air strikes can no longer target houses in Afghanistan, says Karzai 31 May 2011 Angered by civilian casualties, the Afghan president, Hamid Karzai, has said he will no longer allow Nato air strikes on houses, issuing his strongest statement yet against methods that the military alliance says are key to its war on Taliban insurgents. The president's remarks follow a recent strike that 'mistakenly' killed a group of children and women in southern Helmand province. He said it would be the last. "From this moment, air strikes on the houses of people are not allowed," Karzai told reporters in Kabul.
