Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai said NATO-led night raids and home searches are preventing the country from signing a strategic partnership with the U.S.
“Arbitrary operations and home searches have been a serious problem between NATO and Afghanistan for several years,” Karzai reiterated yesterday, according to a statement from his office in the capital Kabul. “This has been one of the main obstacles for signing the Afghanistan-U.S. strategic partnership pact.”
