US military warns of tough battles in Afghanistan


LONDON — The US military chief warned that Taliban militants in Afghanistan have grown more violent and better organised in recent years, and troops face "very difficult fighting" ahead.
The US military faced a crucial 18-month battle to help stabilise the country for the Afghan people and stem a three-year slide in security, said Admiral Michael Mullen, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.
