Russia vows to support Rabbani govt

Ignoring United States pressure to go slow on recognising the Northern Alliance government of Burhannuddin Rabbani, Russia on Thursday night vowed to extend its support to the de-facto rulers of Afghanistan.

"Russia thinks Rabbani represents one of the important factors in regulating the Afghan conflict," ITAR-TASS quoted foreign ministry spokesman Alexander Losyukov as saying.

Russia's defiance of the repeated US requests came hours before the arrival of the US special coordinator for Afghanistan, Richard Haass.
