Security crackdown imposed at Afgahn embassy

The U.S. Embassy in Afghanistan has banned alcohol and assigned American personnel to watch the embassy’s security guards following allegations of lewd behavior and sexual misconduct at their living quarters.

The announcement of the crackdown on embassy guards came as NATO reported the deaths of two U. S. service members in southern Afghanistan. A British soldier was also killed, according to the U.K. military.

The two U.S. personnel were killed by a bomb while on patrol in the region, which has seen some of the most intense fighting of the war. No other details have been released.

The British soldier from 2nd Battalion The Mercian Regiment was shot dead while on patrol in Afghanistan’s southern Helmand Province.

Alcohol has been prohibited at Camp Sullivan.
