The U.S. President appointed Zalmay Khalilzad special envoy to Afghanistan on December 31, only nine days after the US-backed government of Hamid Karzai took office in Kabul. Mr. Khalizad is an American citizen, born in Afghanistan and was an official in the American oil company Unocal.
Unocal led the Centgas consortium which planned to build a gas pipeline from southeastern Turkmenistan through Afghanistan to Pakistan and possibly India. The Taliban had second thoughts.
The oil and gas reserves of Central Asia are thought to be second only to those of the Persian Gulf. This plus the oil of Azerbaijan makes the entire Central Asian region and the Caspian Sea prime real estate for oil interests. Obviously, there is room for questioning.
