John Allen, commander of the ISAF and US forces in Afghanistan visited a base in Nangarghar province to speak to US soldiers about the death of two of their fellow service men yesterday.

"We're here for our friends. We're here for our partners. We're here for the Afghan people ... Now is how we show the Afghan people that as bad as that act was at Bagram, it was unintentional and Americans and ISAF soldiers do not stand for this" Allen said.
