Kabul warns of rising terrorism threat
Afghanistan's Foreign Minister Zalmai Rassoul concerns about the growing terrorist threats in the region despite the deployment of 150,000 foreign troops across Afghanistan.
"Terrorism in our region is a rising threat to world peace and security. The audacity and geographic scope of radical and terrorist groups harbored in our region continues to enlarge," Rassoul told the UN General Assembly on Monday.
According to the Afghan official, greater international cooperation is desired to defeat terrorism in the region.
"Terrorism remains a global challenge which can be defeated only through a rigorous international effort," he went on to say.
"If our international partners and allies wish to win the global war on terrorism, they must look beyond villages in Afghanistan, and engage in a plan that will effectively and decisively dismantle organizations and networks that carry on with immunity to support terrorist and radical militants," Reuters quoted Rassoul as saying.
Violence has increased to its highest level across Afghanistan since the Taliban were ousted by US-led forces in 2001.
