KABUL: 4 Mar 2013. Afghan President Hamid Karzai lashed out once again at his supposed ally, Pakistan, alleging Monday that a statement by a Pakistani cleric endorsing suicide bombings in Afghanistan shows the neighbouring country is not sincere in efforts to fight terrorism.
Afghanistan wants a real struggle against terrorism and wants the Pakistani government to realise that both our nations are burning in the same fire, the Afghan leader said, speaking at a press conference with visiting Nato Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen.
The Pakistani government has an essential and important role in putting out this fire, Karzai added. Karzai made the comment in response to a question about a statement last week by the head of the Pakistani clerics council who had been scheduled to travel to Afghanistan for a meeting of the two countries religious leaders.
The cleric, Tahir Ashrafi, said in a television interview that suicide attacks in Afghanistan are lawful because Nato troops are invaders that have occupied the country.
Karzai noted that Ashrafi was appointed to the delegation by the Pakistani government, implying that the government in Islamabad was backing his views.
We see that practical steps are not being taken to fight terrorism, Karzai said, and added that a series of recent attacks in Pakistan show that the neighbouring country is falling into chaos.

Ok, so we've heard all this before. Karzai is like a tape recorder in an endless loop mode repeating the same old stuff at monotonously regular intervals. Probably pandering to his political constituency, seeing that elections aren't too far away. But he's getting to be a little tiring.....
