Afghan bomb squads in short supply as NATO prepares to leave

Afghan bomb squads in short supply as NATO prepares to leave - Courant.com
NATO trainers were ordered to observe a 72-hour lockdown and suspend classes at what was, until this month, the only school in Afghanistan dedicated to countering the most deadly weapon in the Taliban's locker -- the improvised explosive device (IED).
With most of the Western alliance's personnel due to withdraw by the end of next year, the temporary closure foreshadows a much more permanent loss of know-how for Afghan security forces who will be left to fight the Taliban alone.
