WASHINGTON — The United States offered condolences after four unarmed French troops were killed by an Afghan soldier Friday and said it was up to France whether to bring its forces home from Afghanistan early.

“We mourn for their losses today, but those are decisions that only the French government and the French people can make,” Navy Captain John Kirby, a Pentagon spokesman, said of French President Nicolas Sarkozy’s warning of a possible early withdrawal.

“Their contributions are theirs to determine and theirs to amend as they see fit,” Kirby said, calling the French “great allies and great friends.”

Sarkozy suspended military training and joint operations with the Afghans after an Afghan soldier opened fire on a French troops during a sporting session, killing four and wounding 15.
