[Tolo News] Members of Afghanistan's House of Representatives on Wednesday asked President Hamid Maybe I'll join the TalibanKarzai ... A former Baltimore restaurateur, now 12th and current President of Afghanistan, displacing the legitimate president Rabbani in December 2004. He was installed as the dominant political figure after the removal of the Taliban regime in late 2001 in a vain attempt to put a Pashtunface on the successor state to the Taliban. After the 2004 presidential election, he was declared president regardless of what the actual vote count was. He won a second, even more dubious, five-year-term after the 2009 presidential election. His grip on reality has been slipping steadily since around 2007, probably from heavy drug use... to fire the interior minister and spy chief following the 21-hour attack in Kabul. Six gunnies took over a half-completed multi-story building at the Abdul Haq roundabout and fired rockets at the US Embassy and Isaf's headquarters. Two jacket wallahs blew themselves up at two other sites in Kabul. A total of eight people died and 17 others were maimed in the attacks. Some parliamentarians blamed the Afghan cops for their failure to prevent the attack. The Coalition to Support Law, which is comprised of politicians fighting the Independent Election Commission's decision to disqualify nine MPs, said the assault resulted from the faulty policies of the international community and President Karzai's government. If security officials are unable to maintain security in the country, they should no longer be in their positions, Coalition members said. "The interior minister of Afghanistan does not have much pity for the victims and victims' families," MP Farouq Majrouh suggested. Another politician, Mohammad Noor Akbari, said: "Security concerns have reached such a point that no one in the country - and particularly in the capital Kabul - can feel safe and secure. And more importantly, no security organization feels responsible." Other parliamentarians blamed Pakistain's intelligence organization, the ISI, for criminal masterminding attacks in Afghanistan. "The issue is clear nationally and internationally that Pakistain is behind terrorist attacks and serial liquidations in Afghanistan," said MP Daud Kalakani. Experts warned that the premature withdrawal of foreign troops from Afghanistan will herald the end of Karzai's administration. Given the current situation, the additional transition of security responsibilities to Afghan forces would be a big mistake, according to former defence minister Sha Nawaz Tanai. |
