Afghanistan
Kabul again slams Pakistan's 'support' for terrorism
2007-03-13
Afghanistan on Monday reiterated its demand that Pakistan crack down on insurgents operating across the rugged Afghan-Pak border, despite IslamabadÂ’s repeated claims that it is doing all it can to stem cross-border infiltration and that responsibility for border security rests not only with Islamabad, but also with Kabul and NATO forces in that country.

Talking to reporters during a visit to NATO headquarters in Brussels, Afghan Parliamentary Affairs speaker, Yunus Qanoon, said: “Afghans expect their neighbours, especially Pakistan, to stop supporting terrorist activities and terrorist training camps and stop these people from infiltrating into the country.” Qanoon, who was leading a delegation of Afghan lawmakers to the Alliance’s headquarters, praised NATO for its military mission to the war-torn country. But he went on to say he hoped that the Alliance would do more to build up Afghan security forces so that one day they would not have to rely on the support for foreign troops. “There’s a need for NATO and coalition forces, but not for ever of course,” Qanoon stressed.
