Afghanistan to Disband Crucial Guard Force --- KABUL-—The Afghan government is moving to dissolve a crucial guard force that protects military supply convoys, international aid programs and foreign installations, creating new uncertainty over security as the U.S. and its allies withdraw. -- The Afghan Ministry of Interior said in a statement Monday that Kabul would disband the Afghan Public Protection Force. -- While APPF is a government enterprise, its services are paid for commercially by the clients, such as the U.S. Agency for International Development. It replaced a host of private security contractors -- Top Afghan officials recently issued a directive that would disband the force and fold it into the Ministry of Interior. But U.S. and coalition officials say it is unclear how, exactly, the Afghan government plans to implement this new order-—and who will take over the job of protecting internationally funded reconstruction projects. -- Sediq Sediqqi, a spokesman for the Afghan Ministry of Interior, said the Afghan National Police would take over some of the functions of the guard force. - More, Nathan Hodge, at: http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424052702304585004579418730552246724?mg=reno64-wsj&url=http%3A%2F%2Fonline.wsj.com%2Farticle%2FSB10001424052702304585004579418730552246724.html
