Karzai
bows to pressure, accepts Afghan presidential runoff
Posted: 10:48 PM ET
KABUL, Afghanistan (CNN) - Afghan President Hamid Karzai bowed
to Western pressure Tuesday, agreeing to take part in a presidential
runoff vote in two weeks.
Karzai said he was putting his country's
interests over his own.
"It was not important who the winner
is, and we need to leave this to the people of Afghanistan to
judge who the winner was," Karzai said at a news conference
through an interpreter. "Whether I am the winner or not,
it's probably in my interest, but I prefer the national interest
of Afghanistan over my personal interests."
