Karzai tells NATO to end operations in Afghanistan
Sunday, 13 March 2011
ASADABAD, Mar 12 : Afghan President Hamid Karzai urged international troops to "stop their operations in our land" Saturday on a visit to relatives of nine children killed in a NATO air strike."I would like to ask NATO and the US with honour and humbleness and not with arrogance to stop their operations in our land," Karzai said. In an apparent reference to Pakistan's border areas, where insurgents have hideouts, Karzai added: "If this is a war against terrorists and international terrorism, then they should go and fight this war where we have showed them (it is) over the last nine years and is known to them as well." -AFP
