アフガン政府、カンダハルに警察隊増員を検討
Afghan officials say the government will send more than one thousand policemen to the southern city of Kandahar. The action comes after a series of planned suicide attacks by the Taliban that killed at least thirty-five people. Kandahar's provincial governor said Tuesday that the Interior Ministry agreed with his request for more security. The Taliban called the attacks a warning to NATO's top commander, United States General Stanley McChrystal. General McChrystal is planning another major offensive against the Taliban in the area.
