Reagan Expands U.S. Covert Aid to Afghan Rebels
The United States has increased covert military support to Afghan insurgents fighting Soviet forces and the Kabul government. President Reagan ordered more arms, including bazookas, mortars, grenade launchers, mines, and recoilless rifles, much of it Soviet-made. Officials say Moscow’s position improved but Babrak Karmal’s government remains deeply unpopular and militarily dwindling.
