Attacks on U.S. Forces Continue in Afghanistan: Pentagon
========================================

����WASHINGTON, April 24 (Xinhuanet) -- United States forces continue to
encounter sporadic attacks in eastern Afghanistan, Pentagon spokesman Brig.
Gen. John Rosa said on Wednesday.

����It is a challenge to figure out who is behind the attacks, Rosatold
reporters at a Pentagon news briefing. "There are so many weapons, anybody
could get their hands on them.

����"It could be factional. It could be criminal activity. Or it could be
former Taliban and al Qaeda," Rosa said.

����In some cases, the attacks may not even be aimed at U.S. and coalition
forces. "It's hard to tell who they're targeting," he said.

����"If we say from up here what we think is important in what we're seeing,
it's an obvious counter for them. But there are bad people in that part of
eastern Afghanistan. We've said that all along," Rosa said.

����"These types of spurious attacks lead to instability, so training the
Afghan national army, which is due to begin in the future, is key to our
existence there," he added. Enditem
