WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. envoy to Afghanistan says a delay in signing a security agreement between the U.S. and Afghanistan is raising anxiety and imposing unnecessary costs on the Afghan people.
A national assembly endorsed the deal last month, but Afghan President Hamid Karzai says he wants his successor to sign it. He says he’ll do it only if the U.S. ends airstrikes and raids on Afghan homes and does more to help broker peace with the Taliban.
