Key to war are in Islamabad, Rawalpindi; key to peace in Afghanistan: Ghani slams Pak

Afghan President Ashraf Ghani said on Wednesday the "keys to war are in Islamabad, Quetta, Rawalpindi", accusing Pakistan of being a safe haven for cross-border militant activities.

Ghani said, by contrast, the "key to peace was in Afghanistan" -- at a time when peace talks to end the 17-year war between the Taliban and U.S. officials have gained momentum. He was speaking at a national conference for youth and peace in Kabul.
