No evidence for Afghan claim of misconduct: NATO

Kabul,Afghanistan: A spokesman for the United States led coalition in Afghanistan says North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) has so far found no evidence to support Afghan allegations of misconduct by American Special Forces in a strategic eastern province.

German Gen. Gunter Katz said on Monday that the International Security Assistance Force will work with the government to find a solution to the concerns of Afghans.

Katz's comments come a day after President Hamid Karzai ordered all United States special forces to leave Wardak province within two weeks because of allegations that Afghans working with them are torturing and abusing other Afghans.

Katz says that International Security Assistance Force (ISRO) cannot comment until NATO meets to discuss the issue with the Afghan government.

Sunday's order seems to have surprised both NATO and US Forces Afghanistan, a separate command.
