US President Barack Obama has begun a series of meetings with his national security team on what to do next in Afghanistan.

President Obama says he will not decide on whether to send more US troops to Afghanistan until after he reassesses the war effort. NATO chief Anders Fogh Rasmussen has backed Mr Obama's approach, adding that the alliance will remain in Afghanistan as long as it takes to finish the mission.
