FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda During a meeting with visiting US Defense Secretary Leon Panetta in Kabul on Thursday, Karzai said, “Both sides (Afghan government and the US) should work together for a security handover from international forces to Afghan troops to take place by 2013 instead of 2014.”
“The Afghan government is ready to take overall security responsibility,” he pointed out.
The remarks come as public fury continues in war-torn Afghanistan over a shooting rampage by a US soldier that killed 16 Afghan civilians.
On Monday, Panetta expressed regret over the incident, saying the soldier responsible for the massacre would be brought to justice under the US military legal code.

US President Barack Obama pledged a thorough investigation into the killings.
