Afghan Defence. 13 U.S. Service Members Killed in Afghan Suicide Bomb Attack. <br/><a href=" US News</a> | <a href=" Business News</a> Copy At least five NATO service members and eight civilian contractors, many believed to be American, were killed in Kabul today when a land cruiser with 1,500 pounds of explosives blew up next to an armored U.S. bus -- the deadliest attack on U.S. troops in the Afghan capital in 10 years of war. Two Afghan students, an Afghan National police officer and another civilian on motorcycle were also killed. The suicide bomber was waiting for the Rhino bus, which was on its way to deliver the troops to a NATO base in Kabul, according to U.S. officials. The attack was the sixth major assault in Kabul in the last six months, a worrying spike in violence that shows insurgents have transformed their campaign of rural intimidation into one of urban violence, especially in and around Kabul.
Frontier Post :: Afghanistan News :: ANSF downgraded by foreign circles: Afghan MoD. Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF) NATO Training Mission-Afghanistan (NTM-A) is responsible for the ANSF's institutional training, education and professional development activities, as set out by the Afghan Ministries of Defence and Interior. The importance of creating and training the Afghan National Security Forces to protect their own country and prevent the return of international terrorists cannot be overestimated. Along with the Afghan government development, they are the key to Afghanistan’s future security. UK servicemen and women have played an important part in developing the Afghan National Security Forces. They have helped train, advise and mentor the Afghan forces. Numbering nearly 350,000 soldiers, police and air force personnel, the Afghan National Security Forces now have lead security responsibility across Afghanistan for its 30 million citizens.

Oxfam warns against Afghan peace at any price - CTV News. OTTAWA - Two new reports from the international aid group Oxfam paint an unnerving portrait of human-rights in Afghanistan and warn the international community, including Canada, not to trade women or justice in order to achieve peace. The pair of studies urge western governments to pay more attention to what the Karzai government is doing in the areas of women's equality and accountability for security forces before international troops are pulled out in 2014.
One study, released Sunday, demands that women be given a voice in the peace process and even a seat at the negotiating table. "Afghan women, no less than their husbands, fathers, sons, and brothers, want peace. But they also fear that their rights will be traded off for the sake of peace at any price," said the report, entitled A Place at the Table. "There are no short cuts to peace in Afghanistan. " The report said "Afghan police are inadequately trained and poorly equipped. " Afghans Give Pakistan Evidence in Rabbani Killing.
Suicide attacks v2.0 bleeds Afghan police - Features. Kabul, Afghanistan: A United Nations report released on September 28, said incidents of violence in Afghanistan have increased by nearly 40 per cent in the past eight months. Complex suicide attacks made up a greater portion of the violence, the report said. The disguise remains the same, but the tactics have changed: they pick their targets precisely, arrive armed to the teeth, and fight until the last bullet.
Only then do they blow themselves to pieces. The rapid evolution of such attacks has made the war increasingly more asymmetric, as the Afghan police - ill-equipped for fighting an enemy determined to die – struggle to contain the phenomenon. This new spate of enhanced suicide attacks has received the obvious criticism by security officials, labelling it an act of great cowardice, however this is not the consensus view. Reflecting the viewpoint of certain sectors of society, the attacks are seen as a legitimate guerilla tactic. One Swallow doesn't make a summer A 'suicide mafia'?

The Afghanistan Analysts Network (AAN) / Warlords' Peace Council. After a series of announcements that the members of the High Peace Council would soon be announced, and a considerable delay reportedly about who should chair the council – a question that is still open – the names of 68 members were finally released today (with apparently two more still to be added). Looking at the list, AAN’s Senior Analysts Martine van Bijlert and Thomas Ruttig find the council’s composition no surprise, but a disappointment all the same.
First impressions: This is the old crowd. Where is the innovation, the good will, the promise of more inclusiveness demanded by such a controversial issue as ‘reconciliation’? Instead these are the same people who are always invited to ‘the palace’ for consultations anyway – the ‘Karzai coalition’. It is also interesting to note who is not there. First of all the big names. Civil society: not there. This is not a list of people that have been chosen for their contacts or mediation skills. 1. Afghan Peace Jirga 2010. President Hamid Karzai organized the event on 2–4 June 2010, that was presided by the former Afghan president Burhanuddin Rabbani, despite the Taliban rejecting any overtures. However, after a nine-year U.S. -led war with no clear victory in sight, there were signs many Afghans, including victims of the Taliban's 1996-2001 rule, would be increasingly tempted by the idea of negotiations with the hardline islamists.[4] The event was billed as an attempt to gain consensus on how to approach peace talks with insurgents, but had already met skepticism and even a boycott from some Afghan leaders.
About 1,600 delegates, including 300 women, tribal elders, religious leaders and members of parliament from all over the country attended the NCPJ. The three-day assembly represented the first major public debate in Afghanistan on how to end the war. Background[edit] The main political opposition bloc, the National Front, complained that its members were intentionally left off the list of invitees.
Afghan High Peace Council Fails to Reflect Afghan Civil Society. Suicide Bomber Kills Afghan Peace Council Leader Rabbani. <br/><a href=" US News</a> | <a href=" Business News</a> Copy Afghanistan's struggle to make peace with the Taliban received a serious blow today when a suicide bomber detonated a bomb hidden in his turban during a meeting with the Afghan officials most critical to reconciliation efforts.
The blast killed Burhanuddin Rabbani, a towering figure who led Afghanistan's High Peace Council and has played a key role in nearly every step of Afghan history for the last 30 years, and severely wounded Masoom Stanakzai, the backbone of President Karzai's strategy in speaking with the Taliban. The attack seemed designed to decapitate Afghanistan's peace efforts and deliver the message that at least some insurgent groups have no interest in peace. "This is a big blow to the peace process," former top aide to Afghan President Hamid Karzai, Umer Daudzai, said. Stanakzai briefed Rabbani on the individual who wanted to meet with him. Rabbani’s last TV interview: 'Peace is our responsibility' Afghan ex-President Rabbani killed in bombing. Afghan ex-President Rabbani has been killed in a bomb attack at his home in Kabul (3.7Mb) embed video Former Afghan President Burhanuddin Rabbani, together with four other people, has been killed in a suicide bomb attack in the country’s capital, Kabul.
Rabbani was killed at his home, which is located in Kabul’s heavily guarded diplomatic enclave known as “the green zone”. He was reportedly meeting two members of the Taliban at the time of the blast. The Taliban has claimed responsibility for the attack, saying that a high-level team had won Rabbani’s trust and feigned interest in talks but instead had been planning to kill him, according to Reuters. Police in Kabul say Rabbani was killed by a suicide bomber with explosives hidden in his turban.
The turban bomber entered Rabbani's house in the capital Kabul on Tuesday evening and detonated a device on his person once inside, Mohammad Zahir, the chief of criminal investigation for the Kabul police, told the Associated Press. » Taliban attacks U.S. embassy in Kabul Alex Jones.
