VIENNA, April 8 (UPI) -- Afghan President Hamid Karzai's provocative comments about the international community won't help build relationships, U.N. leader Ban Ki-moon said Thursday.
Recent media accounts reported Karzai as saying international dignitaries were behind the fraud that marred last year's presidential election, which he won, Secretary-General Ban said in a release. Karzai was quoted in one report as threatening to join the Taliban militancy if international interference Afghanistan didn't stop.
