| Mullah Khaksar sez Afghans won't support Bad Guys' takeover |

| An attack on Iraq will have a bad impact on the situation in Afghanistan, according to Mullah Khaksar. Commenting on the looming American attack on Iraq, the [former] deputy interior minister from the Taleban era, Mullah Khaksar, told the Hindokosh correspondent in an interview, "I say that the issue of Iraq can still be solved through peace, and, if America carries out this attack, the processes of reconstruction, security, economic affairs and other aspects that have become the centre of attention of international affairs, would be affected. The assistance that Afghanistan was enjoying may be diverted to Iraq." I think that's mostly what they're worrying about in Kabul right now... Mullah Khaksar continued, "Those who oppose the present government may be waiting for America's involvement in Iraq so they can take advantage of it and create problems for the government of Afghanistan. But I think the expectations that the opposition has may not been fulfilled." Mullah Khaksar added, "The people of Afghanistan are weary of war and they would not allow anyone to wreck the country again." |
