'US to Increase elite forces in Afghanistan'

26.02.2012

The United States is planning to increase the number of its Army Special Forces in Afghanistan, despite an earlier announcement by Washington and NATO that they would hand over security to Afghan forces in 2014.

Pentagon officials, whose names it did not reveal, as saying that the elite commando teams within the US Special Operations Forces will remain in the Asian country. The plan may even demand the deployment of more elite forces to Afghanistan.
