The American policy of imposing sanctions on Iran may have run into a problem: Instead of becoming more accommodating, Iran seems to be upping the ante. But if sanctions are not intimidating Iran's leaders, there is one challenge they fear: the brain drain to foreign - especially American - universities. Recently, the Iranians blocked delivery of fuel to Afghanistan, claiming it was being diverted to the coalition forces.

KABUL -- President Hamid Karzai chose a powerful warlord accused of rights abuses as one of his vice presidential running mates on Monday, hours before leaving for meetings in Washington with President Barack Obama and Pakistan's president.

MCLEAN, Va., March 17, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- NCL Security has learned from the Afghan Government's March 15, 2011 "Bridging Strategy for Implementation of Presidential Decree 62" that it is among a series of private security companies whose licenses are to be discontinued within 90 days from a date yet to be specified "because of having ties with the GIRoA" (the Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan).

On the heap below, a barefoot boy separates large lumps by hand while colleagues toss shovelfuls of chips into a truck. Goats nose for weeds in tangles of moldering steel cables and rails.

KABUL -- Afghan President Hamid Karzai held an unprecedented meeting Monday with representatives of a major Taliban-linked militant group, boosting his outreach to insurgency leaders to end the eight-year war.

[BBC, 7/30] CNN obtained a Taliban code of conduct rulebook claiming that suicide attacks ought to be limited to high-ranking officials, taking weapons from the people was forbidden, and forcible donations were not allowed.

According to the fired senior United Nations (UN) diplomat in Afghanistan, Peter Galbraith, approximately one-third of the votes cast for sitting President Hamid Karzai in the August 2009 Afghan presidential election were fraudulent.

KABUL -- Thirteen Afghan civilians died in violence Sunday as the nation's hard-line vice president expressed hopes for reconciliation and representatives of a militant group with ties to the Taliban brought their own draft of a peace deal to the capital.
