| Afghanistan Urges Pakistan to Stop Backing Taliban | |
| 2010-12-28 | |
At a presser, President Karzai's front man Wahid Omar remarked that some members of Afghan High Peace Council are due to leave for Pakistain to discuss Afghan government's peace efforts with officials in Islamabad. Pointing out to Turkish-sponsored trilateral talks between leaders of Pakistain, Afghanistan and Turkey, Mr Omar said Pakistain has come to know that terrorism is not only a threat to Afghanistan, but also to Pakistain. Army Chiefs of Pakistain, Afghanistan and Nato officials discussed joint military operations during a recent meeting, said Mr Omar. "Afghanistan and Pakistain take effective measures in counter-insurgency combats to target cut-throats whether in Afghanistan or in Pakistain," Mr Omar said. "Pakistain should stop supporting bully boyz in Afghanistan and should honestly assist the Afghan government in the campaign." When asked if the Afghan government has asked Turkey to negotiate between Afghan government and the Taliban, he dismissed the claim. | |
