#1 Update
The presidents of Afghanistan, Iran and Pakistan agreed to join forces in combating militancy as they attended a counterterrorism summit in Tehran

The joint statement by the three neighbours also came hot on the heels of an announcement by US President Barack Obama that Washington will withdraw 33,000 of its 99,000 troops from Afghanistan by the end of next summer.

All sides stressed their commitment to efforts aimed at eliminating extremism, militancy, terrorism, as well as rejecting foreign interference, which is in blatant opposition to the spirit of Islam, the peaceful cultural traditions of the region and its peoples interests, the statement said.

And then their lips fell off.
