Iran's Interests in Afghanistan Questionable


KABUL (AFP) — The US ambassador questioned Wednesday Iranian policy towards Afghanistan, also saying there was no doubt insurgents here had received weapons from Iran.


William Wood, addressing Afghan MPs and diplomats, described the relationship between Afghanistan and its western neighbour as complicated.

"It is not clear to me what Iran's policy towards Afghanistan is.

"There are from time to time difficulties and certainly there is no question that elements of insurgency have received weapons from Iran," he said.

US and British officials have made similar allegations although some have said it is not clear if Tehran is directly involved in arming insurgents.
