Karzai: A very important day

Afghanistan’s president hailed Osama bin Laden’s death as a serious blow to terrorism today and argued that the strike in Pakistan proves the real fight against terrorists is outside his country’s borders.

President Hamid Karzai told an assembly of district government officials in Kabul: “This is a very important day. Maybe you have already heard on the television or on the radio that American forces have killed Osama bin Laden, delivering him his due punishment.”
