KABUL, Mar 29 (AP): Insurgent attacks and a roadside bomb killed 10 Afghan security force members in at least four incidents across Afghanistan, officials said Sunday.
Violence in Afghanistan is expected to rise sharply in coming months as the US sends in thousands of new troops to battle an increasingly powerful Taliban insurgency.
On Friday, President Barack Obama announced a new US strategy to "disrupt, dismantle and defeat" al-Qaida in the Afghan-Pakistan region by increasing civilian and military assistance on both sides of the border, a strategy that drew praise from leaders in both countries.
