Afghan President Hamid Karzai has sacked two senior military commanders over an air strike two days ago that he said killed 89 civilians. The president had previously criticised US forces for "unilateral operations" over the strike in the Afghan west. But he later appeared to suggest Afghan forces were partly to blame, ordering the removal of a general and a major. The US originally said its strike had killed 30 militants. It is looking into the claims of many civilian deaths.
