Karzai: Afghan forces to take lead in more areas
Afghan President Hamid Karzai on Saturday approved a second list of areas, home to half the nation's population, where Afghan forces will soon start taking the lead from foreign troops.         

The handover, expected to begin by early next year, is the second step in a transition that Karzai hopes will leave Afghan forces in control of the entire country by the end of 2014, when the U.S.-led coalition's combat mission is scheduled to end.         

Most of the areas are in the north and west, but the list also includes places that have experienced recent attacks, as well as parts of the country near Taliban-controlled areas.         The first seven areas began transition in July.

They were four provincial capitals  Herat, Lashkar Gah, Mehterlam and Mazer-e-Sharif  as well as all of Bamiyan and Panjshir provinces and all of Kabul province, except the restive Surobi district.
