Karzai: Afghanistan backs Pakistan if US attacks it
None
Afghan President Hamid Karzai has said if the United States and Pakistan ever went to war, his country would back Islamabad, drawing a sharp rebuke from Afghan lawmakers who claimed the country's top officials were adopting hypocritical positions.
"If fighting starts between Pakistan and the US, we are beside Pakistan," Karzai said in an interview with private Pakistani television station GEO that aired Saturday. "If Pakistan is attacked and the people of Pakistan need Afghanistan's help, Afghanistan will be there with you." (AP)
