Brown: No walk away from Afghanistan

British Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, says the UK must not "walk away" from Afghanistan, despite the fact the number of British troops killed in the conflict has risen to 230.

Gordon Brown said, "When the main terrorist threat facing Britain emanates from Afghanistan and Pakistan; when, although the sustained pressure in Pakistan, combined with military action in Afghanistan is having a suppressive effect on al-Qaida, we know that they continue to train and plot attacks on Britain from the region, we can not, must not and will not walk away."
