REPORT: Afghanistan wants to take over control of the nation's security in 2013 not 2014 and for US troops to pull out of villages, President Hamid Karzai said Thursday, just days after a US soldier massacred 16 villagers.

"Our demand is that this process should be executed sharply and the responsibility should be handed over to to Afghans."
