December 06, 2011 11:42

External Affairs Minister SM Krishna has asked Afghanistan to be alert to militancy emanating from across its border. Interacting with mediapersons on the sidelines of the international conference on the future of Afghanistan at Bonn, Krishna observed that infiltration poses a threat to that country's economy and development.

"Well I think my speech today (Monday) was mainly focused on the terrorist activities which emanates from across the borders and then again terrorist finding safe havens in across the borders.

"I think these are the twin problems which Afghanistan is facing and which many nations are facing. So it is necessary to address this scourge of terror from this angle," said Krishna.
