NATO says it will continue Afghan night raids

NATO will continue to carry out nighttime kill-and-capture raids that target suspected insurgents despite repeated protests by Afghan President Hamid Karzai, the alliance said Monday.    

Spokesman Brig. Gen. Carsten Jacobson said that Afghan Special Forces, however, now take part in nearly all night raids and their participation is constantly increasing.       

The raids have become a flash point for anger over foreign meddling in Afghanistan and whether detention operations will be run by the Afghans or Americans.       

Adm. William McRaven, who leads the U.S. Special Operations Command, said last week that about 2,800 raids were carried out against insurgent targets in the past year.      

Meanwhile, two attackers wearing suicide vests were killed Monday when their explosives detonated while they were riding a motorcycle through Dilaram district in western Nimroz province, the Interior Ministry said. There were no other injuries, the statement said.
