Afghan President Hamid Karzai in an interview published on Sunday accused Pakistan’s intelligence agencies of sheltering fugitive Taliban leader Mulla Mohammad Omar.Karzai said Omar, who has been on the run since being toppled by a US-led coalition some five years ago, is being harboured in Quetta. “We have solid, clear information indicating that,” he told the New York Times. “And I’m sorry I cannot be silent about this, as much as our friends in Pakistan may not like my saying that,” he said.
Karzai also blamed Islamabad for a resurgence of violence along their common border. “We have almost daily reports of suicide bombers coming from there,” he told the newspaper. “If we have better cooperation from Pakistan, a great many of these cross-border crossings would stop.”
