Insurgent Attacks in Afghanistan Plotted in Pakistan: John F. Kerry
[Tolo News] Insurgent attacks in Afghanistan are carried out by hard boyz trained in Pakistain, Senator John I was in Vietnam, you knowKerry Senator-for-Life from Massachussetts, the Senate's current foreign policy expert, filling the vacated wingtips of Joe Biden... said on Saturday while meeting with officials in the northern city of Mazar-e-Sharif. Senator John Kerry, Chairman of the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee, on Saturday landed in Afghanistan's northern Balkh province. During his visit in Mazar-e-Sharif, Mr Kerry met with senior provincial officials including Balkh governor Atta Mohammad Noor. Mr Kerry was accompanied by US Ambassador in Afghanistan Karl Eikenberry. During the meeting with Balkh officials, Mr John Kerry said Pakistain should act honestly in the fight against terrorism. "It is really critical that we talk with the Paks, as friends, in the best effort to try to achieve the most cooperation possible to make all of us safer. We believe that Pakistain itself is challenged from these Death Eaters, snuffies and terrorists," Mr John Kerry told news hounds. Senator John Kerry was expected to visit Pakistain first and then fly to Afghanistan, but a recent twist in Pakistain-US relations after the death of the late Osama bin Laden ... who abandoned all hope when he entered there... could be the only reason for a change in his travel plan. Recently, while chairing the third in a series of hearings on Afghanistan and Pakistain, Mr Kerry said now we are focusing on the path the B.O. regime needs to take in order to hand over security responsibility to Afghan cops by 2014. "Osama bin Laden's death was more than a critical triumph in our fight against terrorism. It provides a potentially game-changing opportunity to build momentum for a political solution in Afghanistan that could bring greater stability to the region and bring our troops home," he had said during the hearing on Afghanistan and Pakistain. The killing of Bin Laden in Abbottabad near Islamabad raised a lot of tough questions against Pakistain. It was widely expected that Pakistain should explain why the al-Qaeda leader could live undetected in the garrison town of Abbottabad near Islamabad for nearly a decade. Both the Afghanistan's Caped President and experts here believed killing of Bin Laden on Pak territory was a concrete evidence to prove terrorist sanctuaries existed in Pakistain.
