ISLAMABAD, March 28: Afghanistan’s interim leader, Hamid Karzai, has promised to help Pakistanis detained in Afghan jails after the Taliban regime collapsed, Health Minister Abdul Malik Kasi said on Thursday.

“He (Karzai) promised he would do his best to help them,” Kasi told Pakistan Television (PTV) in Kabul.

Kasi met Karzai in the Afghan capital where he delivered a cargo of relief supplies for the quake victims in northern Afghanistan.
