AFGHANISTAN-UNREST-US-SECURITY-POLICE-FILES
TO GO WITH Afghanistan-unrest-US-security-police,FOCUS by Claire Truscott
(FILES) In this file photograph taken on May 25, 2011, US Marines from 3rd Battalion 9th Marines Kodiak Company check the identification of an Afghan Local Police (ALP) or Arbaki in the Kote Tazagul area in Marjah district, Helmand Province. A cornerstone US policy to turn Afghan farmers into armed watchmen to keep out the Taliban has hit controversy and been scaled back over allegations of infighting and illegal taxation. In Marjah, 1,150 trained local police or "arbaki" patrol an area transformed from insurgent hotbed to a mostly peaceful farming district in southern Afghanistan since a military operation 15 months ago.
