[Tolo News] Afghanistan's Caped 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... on Tuesday said at a presser that Afghan government will never allow security forces to retaliate Pak missile attacks. Talks are in progress with Pak officials over the issue and we don't want to kill innocent people living on the other side of borders by launching counterattacks, Karzai said. "We hope that Pakistain is not provoked by any side to attack Afghanistan, and I hope our people are patient and do not decide emotionally and do anything to hurt our friendly relations," Karzai said. Pakistain has been blamed for the recent missile attacks into Afghan territory, but Pakistain's government has denied that its forces are involved in the attacks. |
