The decision appears to have been prompted in Washington after a further spate of killings. In the 24 hours before the order was given on September 16th, two Britons and four Americans were shot dead by Afghan policemen, bringing the number of deaths of coalition soldiers from such incidents to 51 so far this year, compared with 35 in 2011 and just two in 2008. The reversal came as a surprise both to senior officers on the ground and to Britain's defence secretary, Philip Hammond, who the next day told the House of Commons that there would be no change in policy. It will have profound strategic consequences. Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini! Kembali
