None
The head of NATO said he expects allies to provide at least 5,000 troops for Afghanistan and possibly a few thousand more after President Barack Obama announced a big increase in US forces for the country.
"There are 43 countries on the ground under NATO command and I am confident that other allies and partners will also make a substantial increase in their contributions," Anders Fogh Rasmussen said in a statement after Obama's announcement. (Reuters)
