Increased Security for U.S. Troops

Security is being increased for American soldiers in Afghanistan, commanders said Wednesday, assigning “guardian angels” to troops while they sleep as the fret over a rogue Afghan attacking the U.S. bases there. The increased security comes from a directive sent out by Marine Gen. John Allen said to guard against inside attacks on American troops after two advisers were shot point-blank at an Afghan ministry earlier this month. Changes have been sweeping, including not allowing Americans to carry weapons in certain zones as relations between the two countries have grown strained.
