Mr. Karzai said he planned to issue a decree banning Afghan security forces from asking international troops to carry out airstrikes under "any circumstances.” The announcement came amid anger over a joint Afghan-NATO operation last week that Afghan officials said killed 10 civilians, including women and children, in northeast Kunar province.
