Karzai blasts Nato for Afghanistan 'suffering' --- Hamid Karzai has lashed at Britain and the US for causing "a lot of loss of life" without bringing security in a sign of the deteriorating relationship between the Afghan president and the West. --- "On the security front the entire Nato exercise was one that caused Afghanistan a lot of suffering, a lot of loss of life, and no gains because the country is not secure," Mr Karzai told the BBC. --- He said Western troops had focused on securing Afghan villages, often causing civilian casualties, rather than trying to flush out Taliban bases in neighbouring Pakistan. - Telegraph
