| 2012-02-10 |
| KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) -- The push by Afghanistan's president to nationalize legions of private security guards before the end of March is encouraging corruption and jeopardizing multibillion-dollar aid projects but not really, according to companies trying to make the switch. President Hamid Karzai has railed for years against the lost revenue of the large number of guns-for-hire in Afghanistan, saying private security companies skirt the law law? What law? and risk becoming militias. He ordered them abolished in 2009 and eventually set March 20 of this year as the deadline for everyone except..... NATO and diplomatic missions to switch to government-provided security Tundra |
