Security threat cancels Hagel,Karzai press event

US officials would not provide details on the security concerns. They spoke on condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorised to discuss the matter publicly.

Pentagon press secretary George Little said the cancellation was not due to remarks Karzai made earlier suggesting that the Taliban and the US are working in concert to convince Afghans that violence will worsen if most foreign troops leave as planned by the end of next year.
