Afghan President Hamid Karzai said on Sunday that his
country was victim of terrorism coming from the border with Pakistan and vowed
to fight on Pakistani soil in "self-defence."
Speaking to reporters in his fortified presidential palace, Karzai said three
Pakistani Taliban leaders - Baitullah Mehsud, Mullah Fazilullah, and Mullah
Omar - warned they would come to Afghanistan and fight the Afghan or
international forces.
"Our patience is running thin, thousands of people are sent to our
country, our houses are burnt, our school are burnt," Karzai said.
"Mullah Fazelluah said that, we have right to go to his house and kill him
there wherever they are. Regarding Baitullah Mesud, we will go openly and we
will hit him, the Pakistani government should know we will come and hit him
there wherever he is," Karzai said angrily.
"We hit them yesterday," the president said, without giving any
details.
"Fazilullah should know that we will hit him in his house and in his bases,
the other fellow Mullah Omar of Pakistan should know the same, this is a
two-way road in this case," Karzai said.
"We will get them and we will defeat them and we will avenge all that they
have done in Afghanistan for the past so many years," the Afghan president
added, according to dpa.
