Afghan forces raid US security firms - 25 Dec 07

Private security in war zones is big business.

But who controls them is often not clear.

And in Afghanistan, the government appears committed to shutting them all down.

But one firm has told Al Jazeera the real reason is the Ministry of Interior wants to seize the business for itself.

Nazanine Moshiri reports from Kabul.

Why are the ANP raiding security companies, who are protecting businesses and therefore the economy, when they could be rooting out the Taliban?

@shamalboy Sorry but I think you misread that... "The foreign market distribution of opium has been reduced by 95%, say U.N. Officials, due in large part by the Multinational Security Forces patrolling the boarders seeking terrorist cells.'Although not our main focus, it is a beneficial side effect of our mission in Afghanistan' said one U.N. Official."
