No British troops for Obama 'surge'

The head of the UK armed forces has said the remaining 4,100 British troops serving in Iraq should not be redeployed to Afghanistan.

In a clear warning against US President-elect Barack Obama's idea of sending more troops to Afghanistan, the Chief of the Defense Staff, Air Marshal Sir Jock Stirrup said the withdrawal of troops from Iraq should not lead to soldiers being transferred to Afghanistan.

The British General's remarks come at a time when US, British and NATO forces experience some of the most violent attacks since the 2001 US invasion of Afghanistan. More foreign troops are now being killed in Afghanistan than in Iraq.
