Nato 'needs more' in Afghanistan

The outgoing American general in charge of Nato forces
in Afghanistan for the past 15 months says the war
against the Taleban is "under-resourced".

Gen Dan McNeill was speaking before handing command
of Nato's International Security Assistance Force
(Isaf) to another American, Gen David McKiernan.

Isaf currently has 53,000 troops from 40 countries.
But Gen McNeill said more manpower and equipment is
needed.

"This is an under-resourced war and it needs more
manoeuvre units, it needs more flying machines,
it needs more intelligence, surveillance and
recognisance apparatus," Gen McNeill said.
