KABUL, Afghanistan, May 30 (UPI) -- The departing U.S. commander of NATO forces in Afghanistan has faulted Pakistan for not backing up promises to tackle militants on its side of the border.
Gen. Dan McNeill told the New York Times in Kabul that an increase in attacks against U.S. and NATO forces in eastern Afghanistan is a result of Pakistan's failure to act against militants in its tribal areas and its decision to hold talks with militants without pressuring them.
