United Nations prepare peace keeping force

The United Nations is preparing ground work for an international peace keeping force in Afghanistan.

British Prime Minister, Tony Blair said that it is important to get unity from a unified coalition to achieve this aim.

He added that it will need a mandate from the UN and the agreement of the local people in Afghanistan to get the details "bolted down".

Meanwhile US military officials have started to set up a prisoner of war camp at Kandahar airport to detain expected captured al-Qaida fighters.
