Afghan government says NATO war 'aimless, unwise'

March 19, 2013 22:16

Afghanistan's presidential spokesman today described the NATO-led military operation in the country as "aimless and unwise", in the latest government broadside against the coalition.

Aimal Faizi, spokesman for President Hamid Karzai, hit out after NATO chief Anders Fogh Rasmussen rejected Karzai's recent allegations that it was working in collusion with Taliban militants.

"The people of Afghanistan ask NATO to define the purpose and aim of the so-called war on terror... (They) consider this war as aimless and unwise to continue," Faizi said in a statement.
