U.S. General David Petraeus met Afghan President Hamid Karzai overnight, U.S. officials said on Wednesday, after the regional military chief said deals had been made on new transport routes into Afghanistan from Central Asia.
The U.S. military has had to look at new ways to help supply its troops in the landlocked country from the north after Taliban fighters have attacked and torched dozens of trucks carrying supplies on the main route through Pakistan.
Petraeus arrived in the Afghan capital late Tuesday from Pakistan after visiting Afghanistan's northern neighbors Kyrgystan, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan and Tajikistan. He met Karzai and left shortly afterwards, the U.S. military said.
The meeting came only hours after Karzai told parliament that civilians deaths at the hands of foreign troops was a main source of instability in Afghanistan.
Some 2,000 civilians were killed in Afghanistan last year, including around 450 by international forces, aid groups say. A rights group warned last week that if U.S. military procedures did not change, more foreign troops could mean more casualties.
