KABUL, Afghanistan - The commander of NATO and
U.S. forces in Afghanistan said Sunday there is "clear evidence" that
some Taliban fighters have trained in Iran.
Gen.
Stanley McChrystal told reporters in the Afghan capital that Iran —
Afghanistan's western neighbor — has generally assisted the Afghan
government in fighting the insurgent group.
"There
is, however, clear evidence of Iranian activity — in some cases
providing weaponry and training to the Taliban — that is
inappropriate," he said. McChrystal said NATO forces are working to
stop both the training and the weapons trafficking.
