Al Jazeera reports that US and Afghan officials are on the verge of a deal on night raids. Night raids have been a constant source of tension between the United States and Afghanistan. Footage of previous raids have shown terrified Afghan families watching as NATO forces search their homes. The deal, if signed, will give Afghan forces the leading role in raids and also give greater judicial power to the Afghan government.
