Karzai urges expansion of U.N. force in Afghanistan
Afghan leader Hamid Karzai told the United Nations Security Council he wants the multinational force in Kabul expanded nationwide to prevent abandonment and boost security and reconstruction. The British-led force, authorized six months ago and set to grow to about 5,000, operates only in Kabul unless another Security Council resolution is passed. Karzai has signaled a shift in stance amid rising instability and a difficult security situation.
