Nato still has its work cut out in Afghanistan

This should not detract, however, from the highly effective response by those

– who are due to end their involvement in combat operations by the end of
2014. Enormous resources have been channelled into helping the Afghans
become a credible military force, so it was heartening to see the
professionalism they displayed in responding to what was clearly a
well-organised operation.
