London, Sept 13, SPA -- Afghanistan's President Hamid Karzai says the US and other international forces need to reconsider their approach to bringing peace to Afghanistan. In an interview with the BBC, Karzai said the US military strategy since the fall of the Taleban had not failed, in spite of the recent increase in violence. But he cautioned: "We and the international community and the coalition must sit down and reconsider and rethink whether the approach to the defeat of terrorism that we have taken is the right one." Karzai then said: "I believe we have to go to the sources of it, where terrorists are trained, where terrorists are prompted up." The President said he was grateful for what Afghanistan had received, but said it could have been spent more effectively. This could have been done, he said, "through more Afghan ownership, with more calculated application and in areas where Afghans thought best - for example, road building, electricity, agriculture".--SPA1257 Local Time 0957 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/289093
