Afghanistan mission accomplished, says David Cameron --- UK troops can come home from Afghanistan knowing it was mission accomplished, David Cameron has said as he visited the country. -- The prime minister met forces stationed at Camp Bastion in Helmand, a year before the last British combat forces are due to leave the country. -- He said a "basic level of security" had been achieved and troops could "come home with their heads held high. -- But Labour warned against complacency, insisting the "job was not yet done". -- Military experts said UK troops had been broadly successful in fulfilling their central objectives - set out in their UN mandate - of protecting the Afghan population and institutions from Taliban insurgents and ensuring al-Qaeda did not regain a foothold in the country. - More, BBC, at: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-25398608
