Assembly endorses accord with recommendations --- KABUL (PAN): The consultative Loya Jirga on Sunday overwhelmingly approved the Bilateral Security Agreement (BSA) between Kabul and Washington by issuing a 31-aritcle declaration that asked the US to set up courts at its bases in the country to try American troops accused of committing crimes in Afghanistan. -- On the final day of the four-day gathering of tribal leaders and politicians divided into 50 committees, featuring 2,500 delegates, officials read out the declaration. Each committee submitted its list of proposed revisions and clarifications to the draft agreement. -- “Peace, security and a transparent election are pre-conditions for signing,” Karzai said. “If peace doesn’t come, elections go wrong, then we will lose the country.” - More, Pajhwok
