The Afghan ambassador to the United States has told Al Jazeera that civilian casualties during US military operations are "a price that we have to pay" if the Taliban and al-Qaeda are to be defeated.
Said Jawad said that the deaths were a "tragedy," but were necessary if fighters were to be defeated in Afghanistan, Pakistan and beyond.
