KABUL — The Afghan government demanded Thursday to take into its custody foreigners wanted over the alleged killing of 10 civilians, sharply escalating a war of words with its powerful Western military backers.

The National Security Council (NSC) made the demand at talks chaired by President Hamid Karzai, who has been vocal in condemning international forces he believes are responsible for the incident last Saturday in the eastern flashpoint of Kunar.

“The meeting of the National Security Council demanded that those responsible for the deaths of those innocent youths must be handed over to the Afghan government,” a statement from Karzai’s office said.

Sensitivities about civilian casualties allegedly caused by NATO or US-led operations have driven a wedge between Karzai and his Western military allies who help keep his fragile government in power.

Karzai’s ties with the West have already deteriorated over his controversial re-election after a ballot mired in fraud.

Around 113,000 NATO and US troops are fighting against a Taliban-led insurgency determined to topple Karzai’s government and evict foreign forces, in an increasingly lethal war — for civilians as well as combatants.

The row escalated Wednesday when Afghan government investigators accused Western forces of killing 10 civilians, eight of them teenagers, in a raid in Kunar province, which borders Pakistan.

NATO forces have disputed the results of the Afghan probe, saying the foreigners involved were non-military Americans on a sanctioned operation who fired in self-defence after being shot at by villagers.

But Afghanistan’s powerful NSC accepted the findings of the investigation, saying foreigners entered a house and shot the 10 people, who were unarmed and posed no threat.

“International forces entered the area… and killed 10 youths, eight of them school students inside two rooms in a house, without encountering any armed resistance,” the statement said.

The NSC condemned the “killing and emphasized the need for more coordination in military operations in a bid to avoid civilian deaths”.

Around 1,500 people took to the streets Thursday for the latest in a string of protests over the alleged killings, using sticks to beat an effigy of US President Barack Obama and shouting “death to Obama”, witnesses said.

In Asadabad, capital of Kunar, hundreds of students led the march chanting “death to America,” “death to Britain and those who killed the students”, witnesses said.

“We want the perpetrators brought to justice. The coalition forces must stop unilateral operations,” said organiser Abdul Wahab.

Afghan authorities said they were also investigating reports of further civilian deaths in a NATO air strike.

The probe was launched into reports that nine civilians were killed in a NATO air strike near the town of Lashkar Gah in the troubled southern province of Helmand on Wednesday.

Daud Ahmadi, a spokesman for Helmand governor Gulab Mangal, said civilians had been killed in the Lashkar Gah bombing, but he had no figures or other details.

“We know civilians have been killed but we don’t know how many. The governor has sent a delegation to the area to provide some cash support to the victims’ families and investigate the incident,” Ahmadi said.

Mohammad Alam, who said he had taken a wounded man to the city’s hospital, said villagers had gathered to discuss water distribution when the air strike took place late Wednesday.

“All of a sudden the area was bombed, eight people were killed on the spot, another was wounded whom I brought to hospital, he died later,” he said.

The war of words over civilian casualties came as the Taliban claimed responsibility for a suicide attack on a US base that killed eight US civilians, and after a bomb attack killed five Canadians, including a reporter.

The government says the attack, supported by U.S. intelligence, may have killed a cleric linked to the alleged Ft. Hood gunman. U.S. says it cannot confirm he was among up to 30 reportedly killed.

Reporting from Washington – The Yemeni government said it carried out airstrikes Thursday on a suspected gathering of Al Qaeda operatives and indicated that a radical cleric linked to the shootings at Ft. Hood, Texas, may have been among those killed.

“Yemeni fighter jets launched an aerial assault” before dawn on a compound in the southern part of the country, says a statement issued Thursday by the Yemeni Embassy in Washington.

Anwar al Awlaki, a cleric who communicated with the accused Ft. Hood gunman before the attack last month at the Army base and who afterward applauded the carnage that left 13 dead, is among those who “were presumed to be at the site,” the Yemeni government statement said.

U.S. military and intelligence officials said it was unclear whether Awlaki was at the targeted site.

Awlaki is a U.S. citizen who was born in New Mexico and was associated with mosques in San Diego and Falls Church, Va., before moving to Yemen in 2002. His extremist sermons have been cited as a major source of motivation for suspects in a series of alleged terrorist plots disrupted in the United States and abroad.

News reports in Yemen indicated that as many as 30 suspected Al Qaeda figures were killed in Thursday’s operation, which was conducted by the Yemeni military with U.S. intelligence support.

The statement from the Yemeni Embassy said the strikes were aimed at “scores of Yemeni and foreign Al Qaeda operatives” believed to be plotting attacks in the country.

The United States considers Yemen an important center of Al Qaeda strength and has been looking for ways to improve counter-terrorism operations there.

At the prodding of the U.S. and Saudi Arabia, the Yemeni military has escalated its campaign against militants in recent months.

Last week, Yemeni forces killed 28 militants and captured 17 at an alleged Al Qaeda training camp in the south.

Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman said Al Qaeda’s presence in the Arabian peninsula has become a “destabilizing influence in the region.”

“We strongly support Yemeni actions against Al Qaeda in the Arabian peninsula, which poses a serious terrorist threat to Yemeni, U.S. and regional interests,” Whitman said.

Washington provided Yemen with $70 million in military aid this year.

The CIA has carried out strikes in Yemen using Predator aircraft dating back to 2002, when one of the drones fired a missile at a vehicle carrying Al Qaeda leader Qaed Sinan Harithi, a suspected mastermind of the bombing of the U.S. destroyer Cole two years earlier. Harithi and a U.S. citizen in the vehicle were killed.

There was no indication that CIA drones took part in Thursday’s attack.

Some accounts indicated that the strike was directed at a house owned by the Awlaki family, about 200 miles southeast of Sana, the nation’s capital, but that the cleric’s presence was not confirmed.

“If they did get Awlaki, he was a bad guy,” said a U.S. military official, who spoke on condition of anonymity. “We think it is great that they went after these guys. We are fully on board.”

Awlaki was little known beyond counter-terrorism circles until last month, when it was revealed that he had communicated through e-mail with Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan. The Army psychiatrist was charged with 13 counts of murder after fellow soldiers at Ft. Hood were gunned down in a rampage just months before he was scheduled to deploy to the war in Afghanistan.

Awlaki’s teachings are suspected of influencing five men convicted last year of planning a shooting attack at Ft. Dix, N.J., and material from him was found among the possessions of accomplices in the suicide bombing attacks on the London transportation system in 2005.

Despite the tone of Awlaki’s sermons, terrorism experts said he is not seen as an operational figure.

“It would be a stretch to see him as someone that would fall into the category of a high-value target to be taken out this way,” said Bruce Hoffman, a terrorism expert at Georgetown University. “In the past, it has always been people with blood on their hands or in senior operational roles.”

In a recent interview published on Al Jazeera’s website, Awlaki said that Maj. Hasan had contacted him as early as December 2008, asking for guidance on the religious implications of killing fellow soldiers.

Hasan “was asking about killing U.S. soldiers and officers” from his first e-mail contact, Awlaki said, according to the Al Jazeera report. “His question was: Is it legitimate” under Islamic law?

U.S. authorities have said that Hasan and Awlaki traded as many as 18 e-mail messages. Authorities have said that the FBI was aware of the correspondence before the shooting but concluded that Hasan’s inquiries were related to his research as a psychiatrist and saw no cause for alarm.

After the attack, a posting attributed to Awlaki on his website applauded Hasan’s actions, saying the major was “a man of conscience who could not bear living the contradiction of being a Muslim and serving in an army that is fighting against his own people.” The posting was titled “Nidal Hasan Did the Right Thing.”

Rome, Italy (CNN) — Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi should be released from hospital Wednesday, three days after he was attacked in the face at a public rally in Milan, his personal doctor told Italy’s ANSA news agency Tuesday.

Berlusconi, 73, should refrain from public activities for two weeks after his release, Alberto Zangrillo said.

The prime minister suffered broken teeth and a fractured nose in the Sunday attack, in which a man threw a souvenir replica of Milan’s cathedral at Berlusconi and hit him in the face.

Zangrillo said he doesn’t believe Berlusconi will suffer permanent scars and that his teeth can be reconstructed.

Berlusconi’s recovery will take another 25 days, Interior Minister Roberto Maroni told Italy’s Lower Chamber of Deputies.

The attacker, Massimo Tartaglia, 42, was arrested shortly after the attack and is now in a Milan prison.

Police found Tartaglia was carrying other objects including pepper spray and a large crucifix in his pockets, which showed the attack was premeditated, Maroni said. Tartaglia had bought the replica of the Duomo di Milano, the city’s central cathedral, at a souvenir shop, he said.

Tartaglia attacked Berlusconi “because he harbored hatred against the premier,” Maroni said.

There has been a climate of hatred against Berlusconi in recent months, Maroni said, with many anti-Berlusconi Web pages. Maroni said he is thinking of introducing regulations to block them.

Maroni’s words echoed those of Senate speaker Renato Schifani, who visited Berlusconi in the hospital Monday and said he was pained by the “hatred” that led to the attack. Berlusconi, a conservative media mogul-turned-politician, has been dogged by allegations of corruption and is the middle of a messy divorce from his second wife.

The three-term prime minister faces trial on tax fraud charges after Italy’s top court struck down an immunity law that shielded him from prosecution. He denies the charges, calling them politically motivated.

His wife of 19 years, Veronica Lario, filed for divorce in May following allegations that an Italian businessman hired escorts for the premier and that he had attended the birthday party for an 18-year-old girl, with whom he has denied having an inappropriate relationship.

Berlusconi remains popular among the Italian public, however, with his approval ratings remaining well over 50 percent. He won a third term in 2008, and his conservative coalition has control of both the Italian Chamber of Deputies and the Senate.

Climate change is real, and now is the time to act, the head of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) told a U.N.-sponsored international conference in Copenhagen.

“We have reached the first point in history where the impact of everyday human activities is affecting the health of our entire planet,” EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson said. “Our commerce and trade, our population growth and our social behavior are having profound effects on our environment.”

Jackson spoke about global warming and its impact on the planet during the third day of the U.N. Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen December 9. Other members of the U.S. administration are scheduled to address the 192-nation conference this week and next. President Obama is scheduled to address the conference on December 18, according to the White House.

The conference aims to draft an internationally binding treaty to control greenhouse gas emissions that are believed to cause the Earth’s temperature to rise.

Obama has worked for a positive outcome in Copenhagen since coming into office, though most experts believe this conference is a steppingstone to a full accord in 2010.

“The president’s decision to go is a sign of his continuing commitment and leadership to find a global solution to the global threat of climate change, and lay the foundation for a new, sustainable and prosperous clean energy future,” the White House said.

Officially known as the 15th Session of the Conference of Parties to the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change, the conference is being held December 7-18 in Copenhagen. The new climate accord is designed to succeed the 1997 Kyoto Protocol, which required 37 industrialized nations to cut greenhouse gas emissions an average of 5 percent by 2012.

At the heart of the international climate talks are specific pledges from advanced economies like the United States and Japan and emerging economies like China and India to cut greenhouse gases, which are widely regarded as a significant contributor to global warming.

“The president is prepared to put on the table a U.S. emissions reduction target in the range of 17 percent below 2005 levels in 2020 and ultimately in line with final U.S. energy and climate legislation,” the White House said in a statement. “In light of the president’s goal to reduce emissions 83 percent by 2050, the expected pathway set forth in this pending legislation would entail a 30 percent reduction below 2005 levels in 2025 and a 42 percent reduction below 2005 [levels] in 2030.”

U.S. INITIATIVES

Jackson said the Obama administration has worked from the day it took office in January to promote clean energy and prevent further damage to the environment.

On December 7, the EPA announced a finding that greenhouse gas emissions pose a danger to human health and the environment. The decision came after a 2007 U.S. Supreme Court decision that required the EPA to determine if carbon dioxide and five other climate-altering gases threatened human health and to take measures to regulate them if they did. The decision was based on the 1970 Clean Air Act, which was designed to protect the nation’s air from pollution.

“That verdict echoed what many scientists, policymakers and concerned citizens have said for years: There are no more excuses for delay,” Jackson said.

Jackson said the Obama administration has established new energy standards for commercial and residential products like kitchen appliances and stricter fuel standards for automobiles and light trucks. The administration also promotes renewable offshore energy projects such as wind energy. The federal government has proposed new vehicle standards that will require an average fuel economy of 35.5 miles per gallon by 2016, she said.

Beginning in January, the U.S. government will begin tracking approximately 85 percent of U.S. greenhouse gas emissions, an move which is seen as a first step in comprehensive action on emissions reductions, she said.

“We will know with accuracy how much greenhouse gas each large facility is emitting, and where energy-efficiency investments and new technologies may be particularly effective at reducing greenhouse gases,” Jackson said.
