Panetta, Allen to reassure NATO on insider attacks
NATO defense leaders gathering here this week remain committed to the war in Afghanistan, according to US and alliance officials, but there are growing signs that the Afghan political and military hostilities against the coalition are starting to wear on the coalition.
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and other US officials heading to the meetings say they expect to reassure allies that military commanders are doing all they can to stem the tide of insider attacks, in which Afghan troops or insurgents dressed in their uniforms turn their guns on the coalition forces that they are training and fighting alongside.
