Afghans Get Tough On Security Firms

Looks like someone may have learned from the thing in Iraq.


KABUL, Afghanistan --
Echoing a growing problem in Iraq, Afghan authorities are cracking down on lucrative but largely unregulated security firms, some of which are suspected of murder.

Two private Afghan security companies were raided and shut down this week, and a dozen or so more contractors - including some protecting embassies - would be closed soon, police and Western officials told The Associated Press on Thursday.
