Afghans Protest U.S. Security Pact 
-----------------------------------


 
Protests have broken out in Afghanistan today against a proposed
security pact with the United States. Around 1,000 people blocked a key
road between Kabul and Jalalabad. The protest comes as Afghan tribal
leaders are holding a meeting this week to decide whether U.S. forces
can remain beyond 2014.
