U-S president Barack Obama is set to lay out the details of his new strategy for Afghanistan and Pakistan later today. The measures include sending several thousand more American troops to step up training for Afghanistan's armed forces. Obama also wants to increase aid for Pakistan, provided the government there does more to crack down ón militants along the Afghan-Pakistan border.
