In a statement, Khalilzad said there had been numerous reports alleging that Pakistan was arming Afghans to fight the Taliban in Afghanistan. He added that new reports suggested the Pakistani military was recruiting Afghans to fight anti-Pakistan insurgents.
He cautioned that, given the current situation, ties between Kabul and Islamabad were likely to worsen significantly.
