Blast shakes Kabul as US military chief visits

KABUL: The Afghan capital was rocked Saturday by an accidental blast just as Washington”s military chief promised business as usual despite the sacking of the US commander of foreign forces.

The blast, near the foreign ministry in Kabul”s embassy district, happened when an anti-personnel mine in an Afghan army vehicle accidentally detonated, a NATO spokesman said.

The blast shook Kabul after US Admiral Mike Mullen, chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, began a visit aimed at reassuring leaders following the sacking of the top US commander in Afghanistan, General Stanley McChrystal.

Police on the scene told media there were no casualties.

General Mohammad Zahir Azimi, spokesman for the defence minister, said the Afghan National Army driver of the truck had been detained for questioning.

Meeting President Hamid Karzai, Mullen said NATO troops would still “spare no efforts avoiding civilian casualties” while continuing to strengthen and cooperate with Afghan forces, a statement from the presidency said.

Mounting foreign troop deaths have fuelled criticism in the international media that the US-led alliance is becoming bogged down in Afghanistan, something Washington denies.
The statement from Karzai”s office said the Afghan leader had welcomed the appointment of David Petraeus as the new commander of foreign forces.

“Afghanistan… considers the appointment of this general who is experienced, aware of the Afghan situation and a war veteran, as the right decision,” it said.

G8 leaders vow joint action against terrorism

TORONTO: G8 leaders Saturday pledged to work together in an “integrated and coordinated” manner to combat the threat posed by terrorism and attack violent extremism at its roots.

Vowing to support weak governments in Afghanistan, Pakistan, the Sahel, Somalia and Yemen fight terrorism, G8 leaders said they would step up efforts to promote the rule of law.

“Terrorist groups and other criminal organizations tend to flourish where governments lack the capacity and resiliency to address security vulnerabilities, in some cases threatening the stability of states,” the joint statement said.

The group stressed the need to better co-ordinate counter-terrorism efforts, and to make them more “innovative, far-reaching and sustained.”

“Terrorism threatens people everywhere and undermines peace, stability and security. All acts of terrorism are criminal, inhumane, and unjustifiable irrespective of motivation.

“Given the complex nature of the terrorist threat, an integrated and coordinated G8 response is essential to meeting this challenge.”

Denouncing suicide bombings and a rise in hostage-takings, the leaders said after talks in Canada that it was “critical to address the conditions conducive to the spread of terrorism.”

They highlighted in their joint statement the need for governments to promote the rule of law, protect human rights and ensure good governance.
