Democrat Barack Obama arrived today in Afghanistan on his first overseas trip since he began his successful run for his party's presidential nomination.
The trip, which is expected to include stops in Iraq, Israel, the West Bank and three European capitals, is the centerpiece of Obama's efforts to focus his presidential campaign on foreign policy issues, considered an area of strength for Republican rival John McCain.
In the Afghan capital, where constant power cuts limit people's access to radio and television news reports, many Afghans were unaware of Obama's lightning visit. The presumptive Democratic nominee had caused a stir with remarks this month about the struggles of the government of President Hamid Karzai.
