Political Climate in Afghanistan Post-Election

The World

We’ve been following news coming in from post-election Afghanistan all morning. From Kabul we talk to Chris Morris, BBC’s South Asia reporter, about the casualty count among coalition troops, assertions of voting fraud, and the release of the youngest prisoner from Guant-namo Bay: Mohammad Jawad, who was arrested in Afghanistan in 2002.
