Interim Defence Minister visits

(18 Jan 2002) STORY The Afghan Interim Defence Minister General Mohammad Qassem Fahim has paid a visit to the Western city of Herat. Fahim's motorcade was greeted by locals who lined the streets cheering. He then inspected local troops - former Northern Alliance fighters. The commander of the local forces, Ismael Khan, met with Fahim for talks. Fahim said the interim government would aim to integrate the mujahadeen into the army. Mujahadeen means "soldiers fighting a holy war" and refers to soldiers who fought against the former Soviet Union. Fahim also said Afghanistan's government would partake in any future decision about foreign troop presence in Afghanistan.
