Afghan army to spy on own troops to stop "green on blue" attacks

Posted: Updated:

For the first time officials in Afghanistan say they will spy on their own police and army recruits in response to the spike in attacks on NATO trainers.

The coalition is preparing for a withdrawal next year and is at a crucial stage that hinges on close partnership with afghan forces.
