AFGHANISTAN DENIES U.S. ACCUSATIONS AGAINST IRAN

"U.S. leaders have accused Iran of supplying weapons to Taliban insurgents... (but) Tehran strongly denies the charge... (and) Afghanistan said... it had no evidence the government of Iran was behind a shipment of weapons to Taliban insurgents...."

"(Afghan Foreign Minister Rangeen Dadfar Spanta said) "Iran is our neighbor, is our friend and Iran has had major role in the reconstruction of Afghanistan. The government of Afghanistan has no documents (to show) that Iran's government is involved in the shipment of arms."
