Helmand despatch: 'Pakistan is the true enemy'

[Nothxkbi]

The shadow of Pakistan hangs over British-led efforts to defeat the Taliban in Afghanistan's Helmand Province, reports Nick Meo in Nad-e-Ali

The district governor of Nad-e-Ali pointed across parched fields towards a line of trees where the Taliban attacks come from.

"That's where our enemy is," said Habibullah Shamalany, 58, standing outside a police fortress, the ground around his feet littered with discarded cartridge cases from recent battles. "Their shadow government begins over there."
