Obama talk with Afghan president on new strategy in telephone

U.S. president Baracked Obama Thursday in telephone talk with Afghan counterpart Hamid Karzai said Washington has finished its strategy on the war on terror in Afghanistan, said a statement issued by Afghan presidential office.

The statement said Obama "gave information on the key points of the reviewed strategy of his country to the Afghan president and said the strategy will be announced soon."

However, it did not give any further information.

After reviewing the strategy of war on terror in Washington last month, the White House, according to U.S. media reports is expected to unveil a new strategy for fighting Taliban and al-Qaida insurgents this Friday.

Officials in Washington disclosed last week that the new plan for Afghanistan will include a new plan to move U.S. troops to front-line garrisons in remote areas of the country instead of the present method of staying in large rear area bases and venturing into remote areas from time to time, according to media reports.
