Mullah Khill, 707 AUP Regional Headquarters deputy commander, view the National September 11 Memorial, Dec. 9. Five high-ranking officers of the Afghan National Army and Police have have been touring the U.S. for a week, with stops in San Diego, Washington and New York to learn more about U.S. approaches to counter-terrorism, counter-insurgency and border security, including a visit earlier in the day to the FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force. The trip is designed to provide more knowledge to these top Afghanistan commanders to further develop Afghanistan's ability to independently secure their country as U.S. forces draw down. Khill spoke through an interpreter at the ceremony, expressing condolences for the attacks on 9/11 and the resolve of the Afghanistan people to create a more stable country in the face of terrorism.
