Best-selling author Khaled Hosseini, a UNHCR Goodwill Envoy, ended a 10-day mission to his native Afghanistan
yesterday with a call for the international community to remain committed to the country. Hosseini was in Afghanistan for the first time since gaining international recognition for his best-selling
novel, "The Kite Runner," in 2005. His second book, "A Thousand Splendid Suns," was released earlier this year and has also been a major seller worldwide. Both are set in Afghanistan.
