US soldiers invite Obama to Afghanistan

WASHINGTON: A group of American soldiers in Kabul, who got a rare chance to speak to their new Commander- in-Chief Barack Obama through video conferencing, invited the US President to visit Afghanistan and witness their work of developing the security forces of the war-torn country.

The videoconferencing took place last night during the Commander-in-Chief's Inaugural Ball, one of the 10 official inaugural balls, held to honour the service of the US military.

Obama, who was sworn in as the 44th US President yesterday, was in Afghanistan last year in the run up to his presidential election. He promised his soldiers that he would be back soon.
