Vajpayee says Pakistan guarantees averted war

He disputed American pressure claims and said victory came without conflict. In Kandahar region, explosions damaged trucks near a U S base but caused no injuries. In Kabul, the loya jirga invited Hamid Karzai to help resolve the makeup of Afghanistan’s new legislature amid disputes over geography versus population basing.
