Afghanistan's president warned at a meeting of political and business leaders that the whole world could suffer from a "wildfire" of terrorism engulfing his region. Opening the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Hamid Karzai gave a rundown of attacks attributed to terrorists in Afghanistan and Pakistan that have killed hundreds, including many children.
As militant violence rises in the two nations six years after the ouster of the Taliban, "it seems like the mutant of extremism is dangerously unleashed across the region," Karzai said. The trend "bodes terribly badly for the whole world."
