Troop withdrawal

Asked if there was a connection between announcing the date for withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan with the attacks in Kabul last night, the PMS referred them to the Foreign Secretary’s statement.

Asked if the Government recognised comments from military advisers that violence always increased when dates of a withdrawal was announced, the PMS said that the Government had always known that the insurgency would continue to mount attacks, but we will not allow them to undermine the process of transition planned.
