Us, NATO: Ben Laden death would end Afghan mission (AP)

Kabul (Afghanistan) - US officials and NATO has sought to reassure the Afghan people Monday that the death of Osama bin Laden does weaken their mission in Afghanistan, while the Afghan President, said the strike with success in performances in Pakistan that the fight against terrorism should focus more outside the borders of his country.

The contradictory statements highlighted the nature creates confusion of the war in Afghanistan, where Afghans Chafe under alternately and need international forces.

When he decided to expand the U.S. military force in Afghanistan in 2009, President Barack Obama said the aim was to "disrupt, dismantle and defeat al Qaeda" - a goal some might say has been fulfilled by the death of its leader.

Now, it is not endangered that Ben Laden means for the future of the Afghanistan, where about 150,000 soldiers of the NATO - most of them American - are embedded in daily fighting with Taliban insurgents. On Saturday, the Taliban announced the start of their offensive in the spring after showing their strength with a string of murderous Government attacks and military compounds.

Bin Laden and his international al-Qaida terror network were allied with the Taliban, but the Afghan militants existed on their own long before and operate in a way largely independent and death of the leader of al-Qaida may have little effect on their battle against the Afghan Government.

For his part, President Hamid Karzai, leased the death of Osama bin Laden as a serious blow to terrorism.

"US forces have killed Osama bin Laden, offer him his sentence due," Karzai told an assembly of representatives of the Government district in Kabul, prompting the room erupted in applause.

But Karzai has also used his speech to punish the international forces to concentrate a large part of their military effort in Afghanistan, rather than in neighbouring countries in Pakistan, where live would have been al-Qaeda and Taliban leaders.

"For years we have said that the fight against terrorism is not in the houses and the Afghan villages. "At shelters and today, which proved true", said Karzai. "Stop bomb Afghan villages and the search for the Afghan people."

Although Karzai channels popular anger against the international forces, which sometimes kill civilians in their operations, he could not pronounce without their support. Without these international allies, the country might well fall into civil war.

Karl Eikenberry Ambassador of the United States and NATO have quickly because the Afghans promising statements that US forces would not abandon the country, while bin Laden was dead.

Many Afghans, however, expressed little concern that the death of Saudi activist of 54 years would mean the end of the international mission, where American troops are deeply mired.

"The Afghanistan is a very strategic location for U.S. troops." They want to be present in this region, they discuss having permanent bases, "said Abdul Satar Kahawsi, a member of the Eastern province of Parwan.

Kahawsi said that some Afghans believe even that July announced the troops collecting will be really important because of the proximity of the Afghanistan in Pakistan and Iran.

One of the effects of the death of Osama bin Laden could be a desire increased Taliban to reconcile with the Government, suggested some Afghans.

"I think that now the Taliban will be free to make their own decision, and perhaps these peace negotiations will be finally some success." They are also afghans and we can not fight with them for always, said Agha Lalai, Member of the Council of Government for Southern Kandahar province.

An elderly man in the city of Kandahar, which said he brought bin Laden came when he said that the al-Qaeda Chief manipulated the Taliban and soon took control the organization.

"All power belonged to bin Laden and Mullah Omar was just a front, said Ahmad Sarhadi at his home in Kandahar." He was referring to the blind recluse leader of the Taliban.

With bin Laden, his moral authority and his die-hard views against any type of reconciliation disappeared, thinking goes, the Taliban may be ready to break the international network of terror.

Former Presidential challenger Abdullah Abdullah, said however, those who celebrate the disappearance of Osama bin Laden as the end of the conflict in Afghanistan have been speaking very prematurely.

"There are now several terrorist networks and the Taliban will not surrender." They do not believe in participating in a democratic system, but rather that they hope to bring down, therefore it will not have an impact on reconciliation in this title, "he says.

The Taliban, for their part, said that they were not discouraged. A commander at the level of the province for the insurgent group said Associated Press that while the death of bin Laden is a loss, other leaders of al-Qaida existed which could take its place. The Commander, who spoke anonymously because it was not a spokesman, said that revenge attacks have been planned.
