Insecurity

The international community in Kabul is worried over security in the wake of several incidents of kidnapping, attempted kidnapping, a bombing, a rocket attack and anti-American demonstrations. Opponents of the current Afghan government seem to be adopting an Iraq model -- attack vulnerable targets rather than heavily armed U.S., Coalition or Afghan troops. The purpose? Hamstring relief efforts, drive out U.N. workers and other NGOs, bring that whole sector to a halt. It devastated international relief efforts in Iraq.
