Karzai accepts Afghan parliament's sacking of ministers
Afghan President Hamid Karzai has accepted parliament's dismissal of two of his most senior ministers following a vote of no confidence in them.
The interior and defence ministers were criticised for failing to prevent cross-border shelling from Pakistan, and other security lapses.
Mr Karzai's office said he had thanked the pair for "their hard work and dedication".
They will remain in their posts until replacements are found.
