The NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) plans to hand over control of seven areas including three provinces to Afghan security forces later in July. Transition of security responsibility will begin later this month and runs to 2014 when Afghanistan is due to take over the full leadership of its own security duties from U.S. and NATO forces.
