NATO military convoys in Kabul. How safe are they? Is there anything that can be done to make them safer? Americans living and working in Afghanistan’s capitol say it’s not unusual to see the convoys mixed in with regular civilian traffic as they move from place to place. One of the questions being examined is, whether there are are other options for troop and contractor movement around the city. The suicide attack over the weekend, that killed 17 including, 13 Americans has been claimed by the Taliban, with help from the Haqqani network.
