Khalili Calls on UN to Verify Authenticity of Audiotape
2014-08-07
[Tolo News] Karim Khalili, the second Vice President of Afghanistan, on Wednesday asked the United Nations
...boodling on the grand scale...
(UN) to investigate the authenticity of the audiotape that presidential candidate Abdullah Abdullah
... the former foreign minister of the Northern Alliance government, advisor to Masood, and candidate for president against Karzai. Dr. Abdullah was born in Kabul and is half Tadjik and half Pashtun...
's team has claimed shows Khalili was involved in electoral fraud.

Khalili said that if the legitimacy of the voice is confirmed, he is ready to be held accountable to the people of Afghanistan. If the audio is not proven genuine then those behind the deceptive act must be held responsible, he said.

Meanwhile,
...back at the Hubba Hubba Club, Nunzio had his hands full of angry bleached blonde...
the UN's Special Envoy to Afghanistan, Jän KubiÅ¡, said that the matter would be discussed with other UN officials before an action is taken.

The tape was released on Sunday, August 3, by Abdullah's campaign team, which claimed that Khalili was involved in electoral fraud. The voice, who they alleged was Khalili's, emphasizes the importance of his favored team winning and a willingness to ensure that victory by any means necessary.

The same day the recording was broadcasted, an official from Khalili's office held a presser denouncing the audio recording stating that the voice recorded was not that of the second vice president.
