The Security Situation

A latest UN Report on Afghanistan indicates that the security situation has deteriorated with an average of 1,244 incidents per month in the third quarter of 2009. This is a 65 per cent increase over incidents in 2008. Armed clashes, improvised explosive devices and stand-off attacks constitute majority of incidents with IED incidents higher by 60 per cent than in 2008. Insurgents increasingly use improvised explosive devices triggered by pressure plates, increasing the risk for road travel and has caused an increase in civilian casualties.
