In a very harshly worded statement, Afghan President Hamid Karzai accused Afghan guards working for U.S. coalition forces of killing an Afghan provincial police chief and at least four other security officers during a gun battle outside a government office Monday. This is just another episode that highlights the growing tension between American military and the Afghan Government.

The U.S. military said it was not involved in the shooting, calling it an "Afghan-on-Afghan incident." However, Karzai's statement suggested that the security guards sought refuge at a U.S. coalition base after the killings, and he ‘demanded that coalition forces prevent such incidents, which weaken the government.’
