Forces' resources come under fire
Updated on 10 July 2009
Ministers have again been accused of putting British forces in Afghanistan at risk through penny-pinching as another two soldiers were killed, taking the death toll to nine in nine days.
Prime Minister Gordon Brown acknowledged it was a "very hard summer" for the troops but insisted the Government's resolution to seeing through the mission was "undiminished".
The Ministry of Defence announced that two soldiers - one from 4th Battalion The Rifles and the other from Princess of Wales's Royal Regiment attached to 1st Battalion Welsh Guards - died in separate incidents in Helmand Province on Thursday.
