Afghan President calls attack on Kabul failure of NATO

Afghan President Hamid Karzai said on Monday that a coordinated attack on the country’s capital Kabul and three provinces on Sunday were a failure on the part of NATO and domestic intelligence forces, RIA-Novosti reports.

“The fact that terrorists were able to infiltrate Kabul and other provinces is an intelligence failure for us and especially for NATO, and should be seriously investigated,” RIA-Novosti quotes the statement of the Afghan leader.

However, he thanked the country’s security agencies for preventing further escalation of violence and saving the lives of dozens of civilians.
