Netherlands ends Afghan combat mission amid doubts and risk
The Netherlands becomes the first NATO country to conclude its four year Afghan combat mission, pulling out nearly 1,900 troops amid unpopularity and political turmoil at home.

Canada will withdraw 2,000 troops in 2011 and Poland plans to pull 2,600 soldiers in 2012.
