Kenneth Katzman: Afghanistan: Politics, Elections, and Government Performance (Memento des Originals vom 15. Oktober 2011 im Internet Archive), Congressional Research Service, 10. Februar 2011. Abgerufen am 12. März 2012 „There is a National Security Council that is located in the presidential palace complex and heavily populated by ethnic Pashtuns. As of February 2010, it has been headed by former Foreign Minister Rangin Spanta, a Pashtun who was in the government during the Soviet occupation era and is said to retain leftwing views. Two other trusted NSC officials (both Pashtuns) are first deputy NSC Adviser Ibrahim Spinzada (a Karzai brother-in-law), and Shaida Mohammad Abdali, the second deputy NSC Adviser.“
