Afghanistan

“We must destroy terrorist sanctuaries beyond Afghanistan, dismantle the elaborate networks in the region that recruit, train, finance, arm and deploy terrorists,” President Karzai said during his speech at the UN. On CNN, he said Taliban leaders are hiding in Pakistan. NATO has agreed to increase the deployment of troops and air assets.
