Karzai Warns of Threat of More Violence Ahead of Afghan Legislative Elections

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) - Rebels in Afghanistan may try to disrupt parliamentary elections in September by launching attacks and kidnapping people, President Hamid Karzai warned in comments broadcast on the state radio Thursday.
His remarks come after an increase in the number of shootings and bombings across the country by Taliban-led insurgents, as well as the kidnapping of an Italian aid worker in the capital, Kabul.

"People must join together to prevent the enemy from attacking," Karzai said. "The enemy may ... try to destroy things, to sabotage things, to do kidnappings."

He recorded the comments in Pashtu, one of the national languages, for Radio Afghanistan before leaving for a trip to the United States on May 21. He is due back in the country on Friday.

"With the help of God, these parliamentary elections will be successful," he said.

Unless, of course, Newsweek decides to run another article about Koran-flushing Gitmo guards :eyes:

2. The MAYOR OF KABUL squeaks like a little mouse

And as a good Quisling takes orders from the "Big Guys"

She said he seemed to be a kindly man. Sigh
