Wide of Clinton and Karzai meeting STORYLINE: U.S. Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton held closed-door talks with Afghan President Hamid Karzai in Kabul on Sunday. The senator made no statements to media. Clinton, a Democrat from New York who is considering running for president, has said she wants to see more troops in Afghanistan, without saying how many. She travelled here with U.S. Senator Evan Bayh, a Democrat from Indiana, and Republican John McHugh, a Republican from upstate New York. All three are members of armed services committees. Clinton on Friday said she is hearing "increasingly troubling reports out of Afghanistan" and would be searching for "accurate information about the true state of affairs" militarily and politically on her trip. The Taliban last year launched a record number of attacks, and some 4-thousand people died in insurgency-related violence, Afghanistan's bloodiest year since the Taliban was ousted by a U.S.-led coalition in late 2001. Some 23-thousand U.S. troops are stationed in Afghanistan, about half under the NATO flag and half under control of the U.S.-led coalition. Earlier on Sunday, Clinton ate a late breakfast with U.S. soldiers from New York and Indiana at the main U.S. base in Afghanistan.
