Kabul, Oct 18: Afghanistan today rejected
Pakistani claims that India had set up terrorist training
camps in its territory, local television reported.
"The Afghan deputy interior minister, and acting
interior minister, Hilaluddin Hilal rejected the Pakistani
Interior Minister's claims that India has terror camps inside
Afghanistan," Kabul TV said.
"Afghanistan is fighting terrorists and won't allow
anybody to use Afghan territory for terrorist purposes," it
quoted Hilal as saying.
"There are coalition forces fighting terrorism in
Afghanistan; if there are any terrorist camps in Afghanistan,
whether they belong to India or any other country they cannot
be kept a secret from them," he said.
"Afghanistan is fighting any sort of terrorism itself
and Afghanistan wants better and friendly relations with its
neighbours."

Thursday claimed terrorist training camps had been set up by
Indian consulates in the Afghan cities of Herat in the west,
Kandahar in the south and Jalalabad in the east.
