美国国防部长帕内塔说,有关方面正在采取有效措施制止针对驻阿富汗北约士兵的所谓内部攻击。这些攻击损害了盟军与阿富汗军队之间的互信。

帕内塔在布鲁塞尔对北约国家国防部长们说,无论这些攻击背后的目的是什么,敌人正在利用这些攻击分裂阿富汗与国际同盟之间的伙伴关系。他说,北约只有尽其所能对付这样的攻击才能阻止敌人达到目的。

迄今为止,今年多被阿富汗军人打死的国际盟军人员已经超过52人。

另外,帕内塔星期三表示,驻阿富汗北约部队司令、美国的约翰艾伦将军将担任国际盟军新的总指挥官。

国际作战部队希望在2014年底前完全撤出阿富汗。

U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta says effective action is being taken to stop "insider" attacks on NATO soldiers that have undermined trust between coalition and Afghan forces.

Panetta told NATO defense ministers in Brussels whatever the motives behind the attacks, the enemy is using them to "drive a wedge" between Afghan and coalition partners.  The defense secretary said NATO can deny the enemy its goal only by using all of its ability to counter the attacks.

More than 52 coalition personnel have been killed by their Afghan counterparts this year.

Separately, Panetta said Wednesday that NATO's commander in Afghanistan, U.S. General John Allen, will take over as the coalition's new supreme commander.

International combat troops is  looking  to complete their withdrawal from the country by the end of 2014.
