Kabul: US Secretary Defence Leon Panetta on Tuesday arrived in Kabul for an unannounced visit.
Panetta visits Afghanistan on the heels of bomb attacks last week on Shi’ite Muslim ceremonies in three cities across the country that killed 80 people.
Earlier, Panetta said that US ultimately couldn’t win the war in Afghanistan without being able to win in relationship with Pakistan.
The secretary said restoring the strained relationship with the United States critical to long-term progress in Afghanistan.
