Summary
BRUSSELS - NATO allies confirmed pledges on Monday for nearly 7,000 additional troops to serve alongside the 30,000 committed to Afghanistan by President Barack Obama, amid "clear indications" that even more European reinforcements could follow in coming months.
The Obama administration expects its allies to provide up to 10,000 fresh forces.
