 President Hamid Karzai on Wednesday accused the United States , killing seven children and women in an air raid in central Afghanistan , the alleged further damage relations between the two allies .

Washington to Kabul tense relationship for years and negotiations over a deal to allow U.S. troops remain in the country 's restive after year turned into a protracted public dispute , AFP reported .

" As a result of the bombing of U.S. troops last night in Siahgird district , Parwan province , one woman and seven children were killed and one wounded people , " Karzai 's office said in a statement .

" The government of Afghanistan for years asking for complete cessation of movement in the countryside , but the U.S. forces , against all agreements , once again bombed a residential area and killing people , " he said .

Victims among the populace became one of the most sensitive issues of the 13 -year U.S. military intervention in Afghanistan and Karzai often use the shooting " accidental " and the air raid " misguided " to berate a foreign country and sparked popular anger .

International Security Assistance Force ( ISAF ) NATO earlier said that the report knowing at least two citizens were " accidentally " killed that day in a movement led coalition in Afghanistan Ghorband district ( Siahgird ) .

" Enemy forces attacked Afghan and combined forces from several directions , " he said , " Afghan and combined forces returned fire and called for air defense support to overcome the enemy fire . "

ISAF added that one of the soldiers killed in the fighting , in addition to at least 10 fighters .

A Taliban spokesman claimed 12 Afghan soldiers were killed , but the fighters were often accused of exaggerating the death toll .

Siahgird district , about 40 kilometers north of Kabul , on the main road from the capital to Bamiyan .

The track is considered safe , but the region increasingly beset by violent clashes major Afghan security forces with the Taliban since October .

At the end of last year , Karzai made ​​a surprise decision to not sign a bilateral security agreement ( BSA ) with the United States , which threatens the complete pullout of NATO forces in late 2014.

BSA will create several thousand U.S. troops remain in Afghanistan to provide training and assistance in the battle against the Taliban after NATO combat mission ends in December .

The signing of the agreement is also a prerequisite for the delivery of billions of dollars of Western aid to Afghanistan , which will hold elections to choose a successor to Karzai in April .

Afghan army and police is growing rapidly in the past four years , but the country without the danger of being caught in the chaos of foreign aid if the fighters and warlords vie for power .

U.S. relations with Afghanistan also deteriorated when Kabul last week said it would free up dozens of suspected Taliban fighters from prison because there is no proof .

U.S. President Barack Obama on Monday insisted believe in its war strategy in Afghanistan after the former defense secretary Robert Gates said the president of one of the decision in 2009 to send 30,000 additional troops .
