Afghan deployment signals Nato push
The planned deployment of another 3,500 British troops to Afghanistan is part of a big new push by Nato forces to pacify the south of the country.It would bring the British and other forces much more into the Afghan combat zone than before. There are twin problems in the south. First an insurgency led by the Taleban is developing there - with suicide bombings as a new tactic, apparently copied from Iraq. And the growth of poppy cultivation for conversion into heroin is hindering efforts to develop a normal economy.
