General: Ramadan factor in Afghan insider attacks

WASHINGTON (AP) ? The rising number of attacks on U.S. troops by Afghan police and soldiers may be due in part to the stress on Afghan forces from fasting during the just-concluded Muslim holy month of Ramadan, the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan said Thursday.

Marine Gen. John R. Allen, speaking to reporters at the Pentagon from his headquarters in Kabul, said the reasons behind the attacks are not fully understood and likely can be attributed to a variety of factors, including Taliban infiltration of the Afghan security forces.

He cited Ramadan and the requirement for Muslims to not eat or drink during daylight hours as another factor.

"It's a very tough time for these (Afghan) forces," he said, particularly since they were fasting during the heat of the summer and the peak of the fighting season and have been facing combat strains for many years.

"We believe that the combination of many of these particular factors may have come together during the last several weeks to generate the larger numbers" of attacks, he said. Already this month there have been at least 10 "insider" attacks by Afghans, killing 10 Americans. The latest was Sunday when an Afghan police officer opened fire inside a police station in the southern district of Spin Boldak, killing a 55-year-old U.S. Army soldier.

The general said that roughly 25 percent of insider attacks can be linked to the Taliban, who in some cases have impersonated members of the Afghan security forces and in some cases have co-opted them through threats.

Allen was asked about an assertion by the office of President Hamid Karzai on Wednesday that the insider attacks can be blamed on the brainwashing of Afghan recruits by foreign intelligence agents.

"I'm looking forward to Afghanistan providing us with the intelligence that permits them to come to that conclusion so that we can understand how they've drawn that conclusion," Allen said.

Offering an overview of the war effort, Allen said the strategy of handing off security responsibilities to the Afghans is on track.

"It's been a highly successful summer," he said.

"Coalition and Afghan forces have maintained unrelenting pressure on the insurgents, and we have denied and disrupted their operations and have largely pushed them out of the population centers," he said. "We've limited their freedom of movement, and we've interdicted their logistics. We've taken scores of their leaders and fighters off the battlefield, and we've systematically separated the insurgents from more and more of the Afghan population."

New NASA video captures drama of Mars landing

PASADENA, Calif. (AP) ? Viewers can now relive the drama of the Curiosity rover's landing on Mars with a new NASA video detailing the final moments of touchdown.

The space agency Thursday posted the video on its website embedded with audio from mission control. It starts with the heat shield falling away. The ground grows larger in view as Curiosity is lowered by cables inside an ancient Martian crater. "Touchdown confirmed" is heard followed by cheers.

Curiosity is the first spacecraft to record a landing on another planet. The six-wheel rover arrived on Aug. 5 to begin a two-year mission to examine whether the Martian environment was hospitable for microbial life.

NASA previously released a low-quality video of Curiosity's landing. The latest video is higher quality, but it's incomplete and missing several frames.
