THE Afghan parliament passed votes of no confidence yesterday to remove the country's defense and interior ministers, a move that threatens to throw the country's security apparatus into confusion as foreign forces withdraw.
The vote demanded the dismissal of two of President Hamid Karzai's key security lieutenants: Defense Minister Abdul Rahim Wardak, one of the top Afghan officials most trusted by Washington; and Interior Minister Bismullah Mohammadi. Legislators faulted the two for what they view as the government's weak response to cross-border attacks from Pakistan that they blamed on that country's military.
