KABUL: Afghanistan defended Monday the presence of the nearly 40,000 foreign troops on its soil, rejecting Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's statement that they were "occupiers" and should be made to leave.

"These forces are not occupiers," Afghan foreign ministry spokesman Sultan Ahmad Baheen told French news agency.

"The presence of foreign troops in Afghanistan is based on a United Nations Security Council resolution. They are here to prevent Afghanistan becoming a safe haven for terrorists," Baheen said.

"These forces will go back home when this is achieved," the spokesman said. "Iran understands this." full story
