WASHINGTON: US Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said on Monday the United States would send over 3,000 troops to Afghanistan and that most were either on their way or had been notified of their deployment.
“It is exactly over 3,000 somewhat and frankly I haven’t signed the last of the orders right now as we look at specific, small elements that are going,” Mattis told reporters.
Reuters previously reported that the United States would send about 3,500 additional troops to Afghanistan.

UK, allies convinced Kremlin critic Navalny was poisoned
- That was the conclusion of the five governments based on analyzes of samples from Alexei Navalny – statement
LONDON: Britain and allies France, Germany, Sweden and the Netherlands are convinced that late Kremlin critic Alexei Navalny was poisoned with a lethal toxin in a penal colony two years ago, they said in a joint statement on Saturday.
That was the conclusion of the five governments based on analyzes of samples from Navalny, according to the statement issued in London.
It added that the analyzes had conclusively confirmed the presence of epibatidine, a toxin found in poison dart frogs in South America and not found naturally in Russia. The Russian government has denied any responsibility for Navalny’s death.
