US transfers security control to Afghans in Jalalabad

01/28/12: The New York Times reports on the latest transfer of power from NATO forces to Afghan authority in the city of Jalalabad and four districts in eastern Afghanistan. As in other areas that have transferred authority, American forces will remain in the region to provide support but, from now on, the Afghan Army is to be in charge. So far, about 20 such ceremonies have taken place across the country, part of the unfolding plan for all NATO combat troops to leave Afghanistan by the end of 2014.
