KABUL, Afghanistan -- U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney landed at the largest U.S. military base in Afghanistan on Monday afternoon for consultations with American military leaders ahead of a meeting with President Hamid Karzai.
Cheney landed at the base at Bagram, an hour north of Kabul, shortly after a meeting in neighboring Pakistan where he told Gen. Pervez Musharraf that al-Qaida is regrouping in Pakistan's remote border area and that Pakistan needs to do more to confront the problem.
Cheney's stops in Pakistan and Afghanistan have been shrouded in secrecy, and Afghan and U.S. officials refused to comment until after the vice president left the country. He was expected to be in Afghanistan only for a few hours.
