Target Pakistan, Karzai tells Taliban

Afghan President Hamid Karzai Saturday suggested that the Taliban should turn their weapons against Pakistan, escalating tensions with Islamabad days after the two countries exchanged fire along a disputed border.
No Afghan government, he added, will recognize as an international frontier the British-drawn boundary with Pakistan, known as the Durand Line, which cuts in two the ethnic Pashtun homeland. He called on the Taliban to "target the place that is hostile to Afghanistan."
