KABUL (AP) — Bombings and shootings killed 12 people across Afghanistan, including four American troops and three children, as President Barack Obama reconvened his war council Monday to fine-tune a strategy to respond to the intransigent violence. Obama is considering sending tens of thousands more troops to fight a virulent insurgency, and pressure has been mounting for a decision. NATO is calling on allied nations to add to their military presence.
