PM shrugs off Kabul threat, meets APEC leaders



BANGKOK (CP) — An unflustered Prime Minister Jean Chrétien got back down to business at the Asia-Pacific summit in Thailand's capital today, two days after being whisked out of Afghanistan amid fears of a rocket attack.

The prime minister had been resting after a frantic exit from Kabul on the weekend, where military intelligence warned him of an attack by pro-Taliban forces. But Monday, he dove into a full day of meetings with world leaders at the APEC summit and said he wasn't fretting over the attack warning — later dismissed as a false alarm.

"There's no point worrying because nobody got killed," Chrétien said in his first public remarks about the scare. "I'm here.

"So, as long as I'm here, what happened there (in Afghanistan), I don't give a damn. You know I'm here. It's very important."
