| Under a new anti-corruption strategy for Afghanistan, the US will not aggressively pursue top Afghan officials suspected of fraud, conceding that ''limited judicial capacity and political interference'' from President Hamid Karzai's government make success in prosecuting them unlikely.
Instead, the document puts a priority on fighting corruption at the local level and strengthening Afghan institutions to deal with it through an array of new and existing initiatives. Whether that approach will make a difference remains unclear.
When it comes to dealing with corrupt senior Afghan officials, the Obama administration ''may be compelled to act unilaterally'' when the Afghan government chooses not to, by freezing the officials' financial assets in the US or preventing their travel abroad, the strategy says.
