The United States halted training of about 1,000 Afghan Local Police members as it reviews background vetting after a surge of insider attacks by Afghan soldiers and police on international partners. Officials say the broader 350,000-strong Afghan forces may face deeper background checks to safeguard the 2014 security handover. Lt. Col. Todd Harrell noted the review could take one to two months, highlighting concerns over insider threats and alliance strain.
