KABUL (Reuters) - Afghanistan's parliament has appealed to Iran to delay the deportation of thousands of Afghans until the end of winter, saying the country didn't have the resources to look after them during the harsh season.
Iran has already sent back some 260,000 Afghans who it regards as illegal migrants since April, and plans to deport another 200,000, despite calls by Afghanistan to stem the tide. http://www.reuters.com/article/worldNews/idUSISL18449120071011
