Brown to send 500 troops to Afghanistan: report
Prime Minister Gordon Brown plans to send some 500 troops to Afghanistan, American news journal reported. Brown, who is expected to announce his decision on Wednesday, will set a number of conditions to deploying the extra troops, the Journal said. The conditions include "a North Atlantic Treaty Organization strategy for the training of Afghan civil and military personnel, proper equipment and a new Afghan government being in place" after August elections were marred by allegations of fraud, the US newspaper said, citing a person familiar with the matter. Amid spiraling violence and waning public support for the eight-year war, US President Barack Obama has struggled to persuade even Washington's closest allies to dispatch more troops to Afghanistan.
