UK and other Nato troops are to launch an offensive to take back areas of southern Afghanistan, the British general in charge of forces there says.
Maj Gen Nick Carter said the operation would “assert the control” of the Afghan government in parts of Helmand now controlled by the Taliban.
He told BBC Radio 4′s The World At One that Helmand was “a work in progress, with parts simply ungoverned”.
