US allies are expected to announce reinforcements of 4,000 to 5,000 troops for Afghanistan once President Barack Obama commits to deploying extra soldiers there, a NATO officer said Friday.
Obama is expected to announce his new Afghan strategy on Tuesday, and order more than 30,000 additional US troops into battle against the emboldened Taliban and al-Qaeda-led insurgency. (AFP)
