Foreign Forces Can Start Operations in Balkh: Governor
2010-10-27
[Tolo News] ISAF and US special forces can start military operations in insecure areas of Balkh province, Atta Mohammad Noor, the province's governor said on Tuesday
Mighty kind of you, Atta ...
Foreign forces were previously not allowed to conduct operations in the province due to some reasons, but the forces can start their operations now, Mr Noor said.

Mr Noor pointing out the increasing violence in the province said the efforts of the Afghan cops have been ineffective in maintaining security in the province.

"We told the ISAF forces in the north, and we also contacted some of our American friends and told them that we are no more against their military operations," Atta Mohammad Noor, the governor of Balkh said.
Perhaps Karzai didn't spread the Iranian money as far as he could have ...
Bill Burleson, the US commander of the 1st Brigade of the 10th Mountain in Balkh province emphasised over joint coordinated efforts by Afghan and foreign forces, and said: "When I personally do any security operations, it is always with Afghan forces...the specific to me as a commander."

Security has tanked in the northern parts of Afghanistan, and the Afghan Ministry of Interior has previously reported about a kick-off of the military operations in the Northern provinces.
