NATO suspends training new Afghan recruits
The Washington Post reported Saturday the senior commander for U.S. special forces in Afghanistan has suspended training for all new Afghan recruits until all Afghan troops can be re-investigated for ties to the insurgency. The re-vetting process for the Afghan troops working with the special forces comes as NATO officials labor to stop the wave of attacks on NATO service members by their Afghan colleagues.
The report says many guidelines for background checks were not followed by Afghans and Americans because they did not want to hinder the growth of the Afghan army and police.
