Afghan army boosts security efforts after election attacks

The Afghan army has been confronting its biggest challenge for years - how to defeat the Taliban.

Thousands of soldiers and civilians, too, have lost their lives in the long war.

The army’s new challenge is securing polling stations for Saturday’s parliamentary elections, following Taliban bombings targeting them and candidates.
