Afghanistan's Karzai to NATO: send troops now

http://www.alertnet.org/thenews/newsdesk/L29358539.htm

ISTANBUL, June 29 (Reuters) - Afghan President Hamid Karzai called on NATO on Tuesday to rush troops to his country to bolster security for September's elections rather than wait.

"I welcome very much your decision yesterday to send us security forces to help us with the elections," Karzai told leaders at a NATO summit in Istanbul.

"But...we need security forces today in Afghanistan to provide a secure environment for elections for the Afghan people and beyond.

"I would like you to please hurry, as NATO, in Afghanistan: come sooner than September...," he added.
