 ANKARA, Turkey (AP) - The presidents of Afghanistan and Pakistan, often at odds over how to deal with a resurgent Taliban, agreed Monday to share intelligence on extremist groups to bolster efforts to deny sanctuary, training and financing to terrorists in both countries.
The promise on intelligence seemed a step forward for the two leaders, who have issued several previous statements on the need to work together against extremists but also have squabbled publicly about what each sees as a lack of help from the other.
After a meeting arranged by Turkish leaders, Afghan President Hamid Karzai and Pakistan's Gen. Pervez Musharraf issued a joint statement stressing their commitment to fighting terrorism.
