November 15, 2006 -- A UN team says Afghanistan must "aggressively" tackle corruption and lawlessness as well as focusing on the Taliban-led insurgency.
The team said at the end of a four-day visit that the insurgency poses a "serious threat" to reconstruction and nation-building.
But the head of the mission, Kenzo Oshima, said "the mission believes that the storm is being weathered. The work on rebuilding Afghanistan is continuing."
