Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai has called on NATO-led forces to move out of Afghan villages and remote areas. Karzai proposed on Thursday that NATO forces should be pulled back to its main bases. Afghan troops are ready to provide countrywide security, he added. Karzai told the US Defense Secretary Leon Panetta that the transfer of authority could happen before the current target date - the end of 2014. Afghan lawmakers on Thursday blasted the US for flying the soldier to Kuwait who allegedly killed 16 villagers on Sunday.
