""Afghan President Hamid Karzai said Saturday that he is willing to
offer immunity from prosecution to US troops who remain in the country after
2014, the formal deadline for the withdrawal of American and NATO combat
forces." "The immunity agreement will protect American occupation forces from
being arrested and tried for war crimes, either in Afghanistan or before the
International Criminal Court, and prevent US troops from being held accountable
in the occupied country for any criminal offense against its people.""
