NATO weighs sending more troops to Afghanistan

NATO is considering sending more troops to Afghanistan.

About 13,00 NATO troops train and advise the Afghan army, mostly from the United States. The group’s military arm wants a few thousand more.

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg made it quite clear that there would be no return to a combat mission in Afghanistan for NATO.

The mission would “continue to be a train, assist and advise operation, because I strongly believe that the best answer we have to terrorism,” Stoltenberg said.
