Abstract

The article discusses conflict between U.S. forces serving in Afghanistan and private security personnel hired by Afghan firms. U.S. forces contend that the security forces are sometimes of dubious loyalty, and have on occasion targeted them. In one incident 22 Afghans died when U.S. troops summoned an air strike on security people they claimed were firing at them.
