Dobbins in Kabul to help quell uncertainty --- KABUL (PAN): US special envoy for Afghanistan and Pakistan Ambassador James Dobbins arrived in Kabul late on Wednesday to hold talks with Afghan officials and help quell uncertainty triggered by President Hamid Karzai’s refusal to sign a bilateral security agreement (BSA) with Washington. -- Frustration is mounting in Washington, and among NATO allies, over Karzai's refusal to sign the bilateral security agreement (BSA). -- "The longer this goes on the more that international support will erode," a US official told news agency Reuters in Washington. -- "It is quite clear to us that the delay in signing this agreement is adding tremendous uncertainty to an already uncertain environment in Afghanistan." -- "President Karzai wants an absolute end to the military operations on Afghan homes and a meaningful start to the peace process, and we are certain that the Americans can practically do that within days or weeks," Aimal Faizi said. - More, Pajhwok
