Karzai Says Civilian Toll Is No Longer Acceptable

KABUL, May 2 -- Afghan President Hamid Karzai declared Wednesday that his government can "no longer accept" civilian casualties caused by U.S.-led operations, shortly before news spread that as many as 51 civilians may have died during clashes this week in far western Afghanistan. --- Civilian deaths are "becoming a heavy burden and we are not happy about it," Karzai told reporters here.
