BRUSSELS, Oct. 10 (UPI) -- NATO and coalition partners agreed to a framework for training, advising and assisting in Afghanistan after coalition troops leave, the defense alliance said.
"When our [International Security Assistance Force] mission ends at the end of 2014, we will offer a new mission to provide training, advice and assistance; this new mission will not be a combat mission," NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said Wednesday during a meeting in Brussels.
