Killings Challenge British Support

Officials warn clear strategy needed in Afghanistan.

The killing of five British soldiers has put new pressure on the country's commitment to the war in Afghanistan as public leaders warn a clear strategy is needed there. The deaths of the soldiers came when a British-trained policeman opened fire at a base in Southern Afghanistan. Margaret Thatcher's former foreign-policy adviser wrote in The Times of London, "There is now a real chance that we will lose this struggle in the bars and front-rooms of Britain, before we lose it in the deserts and mountains of Afghanistan." Other leaders voiced concern over the nature of the British fight in Afghanistan as well.
