Afghanistan

The US has suspended the training of the Afghan Local Police due to the spike in green-on-blue attacks. The Taliban killed five border policemen in an IED attack in Nuristan and a district council member in Helmand. Security forces captured a Taliban fighter who killed two US troops in Helmand, and detained a suicide bomber in Balkh.
