KABUL, Afghanistan — Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates sought Wednesday to defuse growing tensions with the Afghan government over civilian deaths, expressing his “sincere condolences” and promising speedier compensation and investigation after such casualties.

Mr. Gates promised that American and NATO forces would do more to spare innocent lives.

“While no military has ever done more to prevent civilian casualties, it is clear that we have to work even harder,” Mr. Gates said.
