BRITAIN plans to withdraw thousands of troops from Afghanistan next year, Defense Secretary Philip Hammond said yesterday, as pressure mounts to end British involvement in the costly and unpopular war.
Some 500 troops are due to be repatriated by the end of this year, leaving around 9,000. Hammond said he expected thousands of those remaining to go home in 2013, but not the majority, indicating a pullout of around 4,500 personnel.
