Afghanistan publishes draft of crucial U.S. security pact

KABUL (Reuters) - Afghanistan's Foreign Ministry published the draft of a crucial security agreement with the United States late on Wednesday, a day before thousands of Afghan elders are due to start debating whether to allow U.S. troops to stay in the country after 2014. Neither side was immediately available for comment on whether this was the final agreed version of the pact. (Writing by Maria Golovnina; Editing by Alison Williams)
