U.S., Afghanistan Nearing Deal on Night Raids 
----------------------------------------------



The United States and Afghanistan are reportedly close to signing an
agreement that would allow U.S. special forces to continue carrying out
night-time raids. Under terms of the proposed accord, Afghan forces
would lead the operations and the raids would be subject to review by
Afghan judges. The deal is expected to clear the way for the United
States and Afghanistan to sign a strategic-partnership agreement next
month in Chicago.
