Afghan officials say a NATO helicopter strike Saturday killed at least one child near the capital of Ghazni province.
Other reports said two children had died. Officials said the helicopter strike also killed at least nine Taliban fighters. The NATO-led force in Afghanistan said it was aware of the reported civilian casualties and was assessing the incident.
Civilian casualties have been one of the most sensitive issues in relations between Afghan President Hamid Karzai and international forces.
Due to another sensitive issue, the U.S. military Saturday pulled out of a strategic district of eastern Afghanistan, handing security responsibility over to Afghan forces. The troops' withdrawal from the district of Nerkh in Wardak province was part of a deal with President Karzai following allegations that Afghan forces had committed human rights abuses there under U.S. orders. The charges involved the torture and murder of militant suspects in the area — charges U.S. officials denied.
In a statement on the U.S. troop withdrawal from Nerkh, General Joseph Dunford, the top commander of U.S. and NATO forces in Afghanistan, said the rest of Wardak province will "continue to transition over time."
Afghan forces are scheduled to take over full security responsibility in Afghanistan by the end of 2014, when most coalition forces are set to be out of the country.
Separately Saturday, President Karzai traveled to Qatar to discuss the potential for future peace talks with the Taliban

CAIRO — Egypt’s public prosecutor on Saturday ordered the arrest of a popular television satirist on charges that included insulting President Mohamed Morsi and denigrating Islam, a state news agency reported, a move that amplified criticisms that the Islamist government is moving aggressively to silence its critics and stifle freedom of expression.
The satirist, Bassem Youssef, who hosts a widely watched show modeled on “The Daily Show,” has been the subject of numerous legal complaints filed by Islamist lawyers and citizens who took umbrage at Mr. Youssef’s skewering of Egypt’s political class, including Mr. Morsi, his loyalists and the opposition.
But the arrest warrant seemed to represent a sharp escalation of the campaign against Mr. Youssef, with the public prosecutor appointed by Mr. Morsi lending official credence to the complaints. In the nine months since Mr. Morsi took office, his government has been accused of employing the same harsh measures against dissent as did the previous authoritarian leaders, including prosecuting critics, confiscating newspapers and placing sympathetic journalists in state news media organs.
Shortly after the warrant was announced Saturday, Mr. Youssef confirmed on Twitter that he had been summoned and said he intended to visit the prosecutor’s office on Sunday, the beginning of Egypt’s workweek. “Unless they were so kind as to send a police wagon to pick me up today, and save me the transportation,” he added.
It was not immediately clear which episodes of Mr. Youssef’s program, which is watched by millions of people on television or on the Internet, had prompted the warrant. Al Ahram, the state newspaper, said Saturday that prosecutors had considered the testimony of 28 complainants and had examined four episodes.
One complainant accused Mr. Youssef of denigrating Islam and disturbing security, and demanded that the state take “deterrent measures against him so that others with weak resolve wouldn’t dare to insult Islam.” The unnamed critic also accused the television host of insulting the president, including by “underestimating his stature domestically and abroad.”
While private legal complaints have become fairly commonplace since Egypt’s 2011 uprising, the government has signaled that it takes the threat from Mr. Youssef much more seriously, going so far as to appoint a judge to investigate the complaints against him, according to Heba Morayef of Human Rights Watch.
“It means you’re prioritizing the case, and dedicating resources to it,” she said, adding that the public prosecutor had moved aggressively against criminal defamation cases, while ignoring numerous complaints of torture and the use of excessive force by Egypt’s security services. Issuing an arrest warrant — without any reasonable fear that Mr. Youssef was trying to flee the country — “is completely unnecessary and definitely a political escalation,” she said.

So, about that fiscal crisis — the one that would, any day now, turn us into Greece. Greece, I tell you: Never mind. Over the past few weeks, there has been a remarkable change of position among the deficit scolds who have dominated economic policy debate for more than three years. It’s as if someone sent out a memo saying that the Chicken Little act, with its repeated warnings of a U.S. debt crisis that keeps not happening, has outlived its usefulness. Suddenly, the argument has changed: It’s not about the crisis next month; it’s about the long run, about not cheating our children. The deficit, we’re told, is really a moral issue.
There’s just one problem: The new argument is as bad as the old one. Yes, we are cheating our children, but the deficit has nothing to do with it.
Before I get there, a few words about the sudden switch in arguments.
There has, of course, been no explicit announcement of a change in position. But the signs are everywhere. Pundits who spent years trying to foster a sense of panic over the deficit have begun writing pieces lamenting the likelihood that there won’t be a crisis, after all. Maybe it wasn’t that significant when President Obama declared that we don’t face any “immediate” debt crisis, but it did represent a change in tone from his previous deficit-hawk rhetoric. And it was startling, indeed, when John Boehner, the speaker of the House, said exactly the same thing a few days later.
What happened? Basically, the numbers refuse to cooperate: Interest rates remain stubbornly low, deficits are declining and even 10-year budget projections basically show a stable fiscal outlook rather than exploding debt.
So talk of a fiscal crisis has subsided. Yet the deficit scolds haven’t given up on their determination to bully the nation into slashing Social Security and Medicare. So they have a new line: We must bring down the deficit right away because it’s “generational warfare,” imposing a crippling burden on the next generation.
What’s wrong with this argument? For one thing, it involves a fundamental misunderstanding of what debt does to the economy.
Contrary to almost everything you read in the papers or see on TV, debt doesn’t directly make our nation poorer; it’s essentially money we owe to ourselves. Deficits would indirectly be making us poorer if they were either leading to big trade deficits, increasing our overseas borrowing, or crowding out investment, reducing future productive capacity. But they aren’t: Trade deficits are down, not up, while business investment has actually recovered fairly strongly from the slump. And the main reason businesses aren’t investing more is inadequate demand. They’re sitting on lots of cash, despite soaring profits, because there’s no reason to expand capacity when you aren’t selling enough to use the capacity you have. In fact, you can think of deficits mainly as a way to put some of that idle cash to use.
Yet there is, as I said, a lot of truth to the charge that we’re cheating our children. How? By neglecting public investment and failing to provide jobs.
You don’t have to be a civil engineer to realize that America needs more and better infrastructure, but the latest “report card” from the American Society of Civil Engineers — with its tally of deficient dams, bridges, and more, and its overall grade of D+ — still makes startling and depressing reading. And right now — with vast numbers of unemployed construction workers and vast amounts of cash sitting idle — would be a great time to rebuild our infrastructure. Yet public investment has actually plunged since the slump began.
Or what about investing in our young? We’re cutting back there, too, having laid off hundreds of thousands of schoolteachers and slashed the aid that used to make college affordable for children of less-affluent families.
Last but not least, think of the waste of human potential caused by high unemployment among younger Americans — for example, among recent college graduates who can’t start their careers and will probably never make up the lost ground.
And why are we shortchanging the future so dramatically and inexcusably? Blame the deficit scolds, who weep crocodile tears over the supposed burden of debt on the next generation, but whose constant inveighing against the risks of government borrowing, by undercutting political support for public investment and job creation, has done far more to cheat our children than deficits ever did.
Fiscal policy is, indeed, a moral issue, and we should be ashamed of what we’re doing to the next generation’s economic prospects. But our sin involves investing too little, not borrowing too much — and the deficit scolds, for all their claims to have our children’s interests at heart, are actually the bad guys in this story.

In our series of letters from Africa journalists, London-based Ugandan writer Joel Kibazo considers whether Zimbabwe can learn from Kenya's largely peaceful election process.
I have always thought elections are something we should celebrate, not fear.
Yet in a number of cases in Africa, an impending election induces tension and feelings of panic in the country where the election is being held and amongst its neighbours. Continue reading the main story “Start Quote
If nothing else, the outcome of the Kenya election, not to mention my poor predictions for the Africa Cup of Nations, served to confirm there will be no alternative career for me in predicting the future”
I was having drinks with friends in Kampala recently when one of them suddenly changed the subject and said: "Hey, I hope you are all ready – you know what happened last time."
For a brief moment I was puzzled, not knowing what my friend was speaking about. Then he went on. "It is the Kenya elections and you can't leave things to chance."
Those difficult days in early 2008 came flooding back to me: Violence had broken out in Kenya following the general election and within days we in Uganda had to contend with severe shortages of fuel and other supplies.
I was among those driving around trying to stock up yet at the same time using up the meagre fuel I had left.
The violence had suddenly closed the main routes to landlocked Uganda and nothing was coming in or going out across the borders, except the refugees fleeing the violence.
Mercifully, after two months of crisis, which led to the deaths of more than 1,000 people and the displacement of more than 600,000, the two leading candidates came together to form a coalition government which has been in power since then. 'The big mo'
So this time, as the Kenya elections approached, my friends were taking no chances and many had ensured they were stocked up on the essentials of life.
I thought I should sample the mood in Nairobi ahead of the elections.
I had spent a lot of time in the city in the run-up to the 2007 election when there were strong signs of some of the civil strife that was to break out.
This time, there was no getting away from the calls for peace.
I decided it would be an idea to sample a political rally so I headed for Nairobi's Uhuru Park.
Even that turned out to be a very loud rally calling for peace by faith groups.
There was no getting away from what everyone was hoping for.
Well, the message seems to have got through and much to the relief of all, bar a few incidents, the much-watched election went off without incident and, what is more, the announcement of Uhuru Kenyatta as the winner of the presidential race brought no incidents.

According to the lawsuit, James Braddock argued that one the film’s producers, Edin Sarkic, read his book and that the book heavily influenced Jolie’s film
A judge has ruled that Angelina Jolie didn’t plagiarize “In the Land of Blood and Honey” from Croatian journalist James Braddock, according to The Hollywood Reporter. In late 2011, Braddock claimed that the movie about the Bosnian Civil War borrowed heavily from his book, “The Soul Shattering,” and violated his copyright.
According to the lawsuit, Braddock argued that one the film’s producers, Edin Sarkic, read the book and that the book heavily influenced Jolie’s film. According to The New York Times, Sarkic told The AP in 2010 he had helped the actress obtain a written permit so that she could begin filming in Sarajevo.
Both the film and the book include rape and escape sequences.
Despite Braddock’s claims, U.S. District Judge Dolly Gee said that Jolie did not violate the Croatian journalist’s copyright. She said that the “overlapping concepts” of rape and escape “are commonplace in books and films depicting war.”
Judge Gee also noted that Jolie’s film “highlights the complications of romantic love during wartime.”
Jolie’s attorney told THR that Judge Gee’s ruling was “thorough and well reasoned.”
There’s no word on whether Braddock will attempt to appeal the case.
Lawsuits in Hollywood are common. Though not a case of copyright infringement, Iran has threatened to sue Hollywood over “Argo.” The Associated Press recently reported that Iran’s government wants to sue Hollywood for “unrealistic portrayal” of Iranians in the award-winning film. No word on whether Iran plans to move forward with a lawsuit.
Did Judge Gee make the right decision? Did you watch “In the Land of Blood and Honey?” If so, what’d you think? Should Angelina stick to acting or was her directorial debut an indication of her talent as a director? Share your thoughts in the comments section.

WASHINGTON — The White House said Saturday it is taking seriously new threats by North Korea but also noted Pyongyang’s history of “bellicose rhetoric.”
North Korea warned Seoul on Saturday that the Korean Peninsula had entered “a state of war.” It also threatened to shut down a border factory complex that is the last major symbol of cooperation between the Koreas.
“We’ve seen reports of a new and unconstructive statement from North Korea. We take these threats seriously and remain in close contact with our South Korean allies,” said Caitlin Hayden, a spokeswoman for the White House National Security Council. “But, we would also note that North Korea has a long history of bellicose rhetoric and threats, and today’s announcement follows that familiar pattern.”
North Korea’s threats are seen as part of an effort to provoke the new government in Seoul to change its policies toward Pyongyang, and to win diplomatic talks with Washington that could get it more aid. The moves also are seen as ways to build domestic unity as North Korea’s young leader, Kim Jong Un, strengthens his military credentials.
In recent days, the U.S. flew a pair of nuclear-capable B-2 stealth bombers over an uninhabited South Korean island, dropping dummy munitions as part of annual defense drills that North Korea views as rehearsals for an invasion. Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel also announced that the U.S. will fortify its defenses against a potential North Korean missile attack on the U.S. by adding more than a dozen missile interceptors to the 26 already in place at Fort Greely, Alaska.
North Korea said in a statement Saturday that it would deal with South Korea according to “wartime regulations” and would retaliate against any provocations by the U.S. and South Korea without notice.
“Now that the revolutionary armed forces of the DPRK have entered into an actual military action, the inter-Korean relations have naturally entered the state of war,” said the statement, which was carried by the official North Korean news agency and referred to the country by its official name, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea.
Provocations “will not be limited to a local war, but develop into an all-out war, a nuclear war,” the statement said.
The White House has stressed the U.S. government’s capability and willingness to defend itself and its allies and interests in the region, if necessary.
“We remain fully prepared and capable of defending and protecting the United States and our allies,” Hayden said.

At least 17 people have been killed after a multi-storey building collapsed in the centre of the main Tanzanian city of Dar es Salaam on Friday morning, according to a local official.
Commissioner Saidi Meck Sadick said 18 people had survived.
He added that the search for other survivors was continuing.
Earlier reports said some 45 people, including construction workers, residents and children from a Koranic school, were missing.
The BBC's Hassan Mhelela says the high-rise building under construction is now a "huge pile of chaos".
Eyewitness Nishit Surelia told the BBC: "There was a huge noise and the building collapsed behind me.
"Everyone started running, thinking it was an earthquake. There was dust everywhere. We then realised what had happened."
Trapped victims are said to have been making phone calls to friends and relatives.
Tanzanian President Jakaya Kikwete visited the scene.
The collapsed building was near a mosque, as well as other residential and commercial properties in central Dar es Salaam.
It was supposed to have been at least 12 floors high when finished.
Police say they are questioning four people linked to the construction company, while work on a nearby site undertaken by the same company has been suspended.
Tanzania's growing economy has prompted a construction boom in Dar es Salaam in recent years, as in many African cities.
But correspondents say the speed of construction and lack of safety standards sometimes put at risk both the buildings and those living and working in them.

Manchester City capitalised on a stumble from Chelsea to tighten their grip on second place in the Premier League on Saturday, after Manchester United took another stride towards the title.
United’s 1-0 win at Sunderland had given them an 18-point lead but City cut their advantage back to 15 points ahead of the forthcoming Manchester derby by crushing Newcastle United 4-0 at the Etihad Stadium.
Carlos Tevez slid in to convert Gael Clichy’s cross in the 41st minute and David Silva made it 2-0 before half-time when he collected Samir Nasri’s pass and rifled a shot into the bottom-right corner.
Making his first appearance in two months, City captain Vincent Kompany added a third in the 56th minute with a flick from Gareth Barry’s low shot and an own goal from James Perch made Newcastle’s misery complete.
City now have a five-point cushion in second place after Chelsea saw their hopes of Champions League qualification compromised in a 2-1 loss at Southampton.
Jay Rodriguez put the hosts ahead in the 23rd minute, exchanging passes with Steven Davis and coolly steering the ball past the advancing Petr Cech.
Chelsea captain John Terry equalised in the 33rd minute, heading home from a corner, but Rickie Lambert restored the hosts’ lead two minutes later when he swept home a superb free-kick from 25 yards.
Southampton have now beaten City, Liverpool and Chelsea at home this year, and Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur were the chief beneficiaries of their latest success.
Spurs won 2-1 at Swansea City to leapfrog Chelsea into third place, although they have played a game more.
Jan Vertonghen’s classy finish put Tottenham ahead in the 17th minute and the Belgian then teed up Gareth Bale to beat Michel Vorm with a vicious strike from outside the area.
Michu replied with a 71st-minute header, but Spurs held on.
Fifth-place Arsenal closed to within just two points of Chelsea after a 4-1 win at home to Reading, who sank to the foot of the table in new manager Nigel Adkins’ first game in charge.
Goals from Gervinho, Santi Cazorla and Olivier Giroud saw Arsenal construct a 3-0 lead inside 67 minutes, with Mikel Arteta adding a fourth from the penalty spot after Hal Robson-Kanu had hit back for the visitors.
Everton can move to within four points of the Champions League places if they win at home to Stoke City in the evening kick-off.
Manchester United took a step closer to a 20th English league title by grinding out a 1-0 win at Sunderland in the lunchtime game.
With an FA Cup quarter-final replay at Chelsea on Monday, United manager Alex Ferguson rested Rio Ferdinand and Wayne Rooney but saw his side score the game’s only goal in the 27th minute when Titus Bramble diverted Robin van Persie’s cross into his own goal.
Victory was especially sweet for United as Sunderland’s fans had celebrated exuberantly at the Stadium of Light on the final day of last season when United found out they had been pipped to the title by City.
“They weren’t the only fans who enjoyed that, but that’s gone now,” United midfielder Michael Carrick told Sky Sports.
“It was about coming here, getting the points, ticking the game off, and keeping the run going.”
Defeat left Sunderland four points above the relegation zone in 16th place, although they have played at least a game more than the teams immediately below them.
Elsewhere on Saturday, an 81st-minute goal from Arouna Kone gave Wigan Athletic a 1-0 win at home to Norwich City that hauled Roberto Martinez’s side out of the relegation zone at Aston Villa’s expense.
Meanwhile, Andy Carroll scored twice, with Gary O’Neil also on target, as West Ham United eased their own relegation fears by beating West Bromwich Albion 3-1.

Kenya's Supreme Court has upheld Uhuru Kenyatta's presidential election victory, rejecting several petitions challenging the vote.
Chief Justice Willy Mutunga announced the decision, which was unanimous, saying the poll was free and fair.
Main challenger PM Raila Odinga, who lodged the appeal, said he would fully respect the verdict.
Official results said Mr Kenyatta beat Mr Odinga by 50.07% to 43.28%, avoiding a run-off by just 8,100 votes.
There was tight security at the Supreme Court as the judgement was read out. Violence after a disputed election in 2007 left more than 1,200 people dead.
The presidential, legislative and municipal elections held on 4 March were the first since the 2007 poll.
Mr Kenyatta and his running mate, William Ruto, are expected to be sworn in as president and vice-president on 9 April.
But they are facing trial on charges of crimes against humanity at the International Criminal Court (ICC) for allegedly fuelling unrest after that election. They deny the charges. Plea for calm
Chief Justice Mutunga said the court's decisions had been unanimous on all the issues they were asked to rule on.
He said that Mr Kenyatta and Mr Ruto had been "validly elected" in a poll carried out in a "free, fair, transparent and credible" manner.
"It is the decision of the court that the said elections were indeed conducted in compliance with the constitution and the law," he said.
"At this historical moment in our country, the Supreme Court has discharged its constitutional duty in conformity with the solemn oath each one of us took," he added.
"It is now for the Kenyan people, their leaders, civil society, the private sector and the media to discharge theirs, to ensure that the unity, peace, sovereignty and prosperity of the nation is preserved. God bless Kenya."
Supporters of Mr Kenyatta took to the streets of central Nairobi, tooting their horns, blowing on vuvuzelas and chanting.
Outside the courthouse, police used tear gas to chase away people protesting against the ruling but the area is now quiet.
There were also reports of tear gas being fired at stone-throwing youths in the western city of Kisumu, a stronghold of Mr Odinga.
And there was an angry mood in the Nairobi slum of Kibera, our correspondent says, with people chanting "no Raila no peace".
Outgoing President Mwai Kibaki has urged people to stay calm and accept the result, but much will depend on Kenyans' faith in their newly reformed judiciary, our correspondent says.
Petitions had been filed to the court by Mr Odinga and by civil society groups, who claimed irregularities had affected the election result and called for fresh elections.
Mr Odinga expressed "dismay" at the conduct of the election and said that he did not regret making the challenge.
But he said that he fully respected the decision and wished Mr Kenyatta and his team well.
"Although we may not agree with some of [the court's] findings, our belief in constitutionalism remains supreme," he said at a news conference after the verdict.
"We must soldier on in our resolve to reform our politics and our institutions." 'Triumph of democracy'
UK Prime Minister David Cameron congratulated Mr Kenyatta on his election victory.
"The prime minister urged the Kenyan people to be proud of the strong signal they have sent to the world about their determination to exercise their democratic right peacefully," Mr Cameron's office said in a statement.
A European Union statement said: "Kenyans can be proud that the political reform process of their country is bearing fruit.
"With continued efforts to implement the new constitution, Kenyans can build the globally competitive and prosperous nation they aspire to be."
Mr Kenyatta has called the election, which was largely conducted peacefully, a "triumph of democracy".
The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has insisted that the vote was credible, despite technical failures with an electronic voter ID system and the vote counting mechanism.
International observers said the poll was largely free, fair and credible, and that the electoral commission had conducted its business in an open and transparent manner.

A cuckolded husband has been living in a tree for the last nine months, refusing to come down until his wife apologises for cheating on him.
But the apology never came and, nine months later, Sanjay, 25, is still there, wondering if wife Tara will ever take him back.
Sanjay, whose surname is not known, married Tara last year in Baragaon, Varanasi, before moving to Mumbai.
But in March he returned home from work a little early to find his new bride in a compromising position with their next-door neighbour.
Hurt and humiliated, he demanded an apology for the infidelity but she refused so he took her back to their village in a bid to resolve their differences.
So in a last ditch effort to win her back, Sanjay shimmied up a guava tree on the outskirts of the village and has remained there ever since.
He says he will climb down only when his wife apologises for her misdeeds and returns to him.
Despite renewed attempts by his family to persuade her, Tara would not budge.
Initially he refused food, surviving only on the guava fruit picked from the branches of the tree. But when none were left, he was forced to swallow his pride and relied on his mother, who faithfully brought him snacks from home.
He climbed on to this tree on March 9 and has remained there ever since. Whenever we try to bring him down, he threatens to commit suicide,' Sanjay’s mother Kushma Dev toldThe Asian Age.
'He eats and sleeps on the tree and even relieves himself from there. We keep going to him and asking him if he needs anything.'
Some villagers, however, claim to have spotted Sanjay climb down from the tree and go for a stroll when he thinks nobody is watching.
But they say he quickly scurries back up to his branch if he thinks somebody is nearby.
His sister Nisha told the paper they have not called police, adding: 'We apprehend that he may harm himself if we seek outside help. As long as he is safe there, we are happy for him.'
