Afghan president says CIA payments to continue
None
Afghan President Hamid Karzai said on Saturday that the CIA's station chief in Kabul has assured him that regular funding the US intelligence agency gives his government will continue.
He said the Afghan government had been receiving funds from CIA for more than a decade as part of regular monthly assistance from the US. Karzai had earlier confirmed that his government had received such payments following a story published in The New York Times that said the CIA had given the Afghan National Security Council tens of millions of dollars in monthly payments.
