Afghanistan President Karzai Sworn in

HeadlineDec 07, 2004

In Afghanistan, the U.S.-backed Hamid Karzai was sworn in today as the country’s first elected president at a small innaugaration ceremony attended by 150 people including Vice President Dick Cheney and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. Both Cheney and Rumsfeld were expected to leave Kabul shortly after the event because the city is considered too unsafe for them to stay overnight. Meanwhile at least 12 people died today in fighting along the Afghan-Pakistan border.
