General Allen back in Afghanistan
22 Nov 2012 12:32 AM GMT
A spokesman for Gen John Allen says the top US and NATO commander of the war in Afghanistan has returned to Kabul to resume his duties, more than a week after the Pentagon announced it is investigating potentially ‘inappropriate’ correspondence between the four-star general and a woman linked to the former CIA chief David Petraeus' sex scandal.
The spokesman said Allen returned to work on Wednesday. Allen had been in Washington when news of his problematic email correspondence with Florida socialite Jill Kelley surfaced last Monday. He was expected to testify before a Senate committee last Thursday on his nomination to become the commander of US European Command and the top NATO general.
