German Defence Ministry closes files on Afghan 'security incidents'

German Defense Ministry closes files on Afghan 'security incidents' | Germany | DW.DE | 08.01.2014
"Two members of Afghanistan's security forces were killed in an ambush attack on December 11. One day later, according to Afghan sources, two rebels and a civilian in the Badakhshan Province were killed in a gunfight. A member of the Afghanistan national police force was wounded.
Germany's military, the Bundeswehr, calls such occurrences "security incidents." The heading includes exchanges of gunfire and successfully defused traps and improvised explosive devices.
In its weekly public briefings on the security situation in Afghanistan, the military now only addresses specific examples of such incidents. In its weekly classified reports to the German parliament, the Bundeswehr also refrains from providing comprehensive statistics for incidents in northern Afghanistan."
