#1 Apparently not just by only the Security forces ...

* BHARAT RAKSHAK > AFGHAN MPS JOIN SECURITYMEN TO FIGHT TALIBAN MILITANTS.

Reminds me of the late actor Charleston Heston as General Andrew Jackson before the Battle of New Orleans > [paraph = Heston's booming voice]"By God, all of you [waffling]Bankers, Merchants, Aristocrats + Public Officials will help fight the British or I'll have you all hanged from the nearest tree"!

#3 "I am enormously proud of how quickly Afghan security forces responded to today's attacks in Kabul," said General John Allen, commander of NATO's International Security Assistance Force (ISAF).

I can't begin to imagine how "proud" General Allen might have been had he been.... TIPPED OFF in advance by the host nation intelligence services (or our own) and been able to prevent the attacks in the first place.
