Nato sets 'irreversible' roadmap to withdrawing troops from Afghanistan
Barack Obama and Nato have set an ``irreversible'' roadmap to ``gradually and responsibly'' withdraw 130,000 combat troops from Afghanistan by the end of 2014.
NATO said on Saturday it would hand over security in Afghanistan to Afghan forces by the end of 2014 but the head of the alliance said it would not abandon the country in its fight against the Taliban.
