As the US considers expanding the war to Pakistan, the Afghan Council of Ministers is calling for a review of the presence of US troops in the country following last week’s air strike that killed up to ninety civilians, including fifty children. The ministers are demanding a status of forces agreement, which would stipulate that the authority and responsibilities of international forces be negotiated. As part of such an agreement, the ministers want a stop to aerial bombings, illegal detentions and house raids by international forces.
