Afghan Defence Minister Abdul Rahim Ward
Kabul, AFGHANISTAN: Afghan Defence Minister Abdul Rahim Wardak speaks during aN interview with an AFP reporter in kabul, 11 July 2006. A surge in Taliban-led attacks in Afghanistan's south highlighted neglect of the troubled area, the defence minister said, predicting a turnaround as the government and its allies redress the situation. Abdul Rahim Wardak told AFP a "reintensification" in strikes by the extremist Taliban movement, whom he conceded appeared better equipped than before, was a wake-up call. "We were definitely wrong the way we were operating.the Afghan and government and international community," he said an interview. "There were no forces, there were no proper governors, there were no proper police," he said. AFP PHOTO/FARZANA Wahidy (Photo credit should read FARZANA WAHIDY/AFP via Getty Images)
