US toll in Afghanistan reaches 2000 as insider attacks rise
An American service member was killed in an exchange of fire with allied Afghan soldiers, pushing U.S. deaths in Afghanistan to 2,000. The surge follows a year marked by insider attacks by Afghan forces and insurgents in uniform, underscoring concerns over the coalition’s exit plan and Afghan security takeovers. NATO and U.S. officials note the growing threat as 108,000 NATO troops remain, with troop levels and drawdown decisions tied to the 2014 timeline and the upcoming presidential election.
