Allies Pledge Support At Kabul Conference

by Quil Lawrence, NPR

More than 40 foreign ministers from around the world attended a donor's meeting in Afghanistan on Tuesday. The Kabul conference was a success by the most important measure set out by the organizers: There was no disruption by the insurgency that is raging in much of the countryside. U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon joined other delegations in demonstrating support for President Hamid Karzai.
