Muslims across Asia celebrate Eid, as Afghan leader says country not shelter for terrorists

KABUL, Afghanistan: Muslims across Asia observed the opening of the religious festival of Eid al-Adha on Wednesday, a multi-day observance that opens with the slaughtering of a farm animal to be distributed among family members and the poor. --- Afghan President Hamid Karzai, in an address marking the first day of Eid in Afghanistan, urged the United States and its allies to take their fight against al-Qaida and Taliban beyond Afghanistan's borders and to attack terrorists' sanctuaries and training centers outside the country — an apparent reference to Pakistan.
