I have consistently said that we are seeing an increasing level of violence in Afghanistan, especially in the east and the south. I attribute part of that to the fact that there are sanctuary areas to militant groups that are across the Pakistan border in Fata and the North-West Frontier Province and partly to coalition and Afghan troops taking the fight to the insurgency.
