The head of the Armed Forces hinted yesterday that troop levels would have to be increased in Afghanistan.

The news came as a second British soldier was killed in as many days.

Air Chief Marshal Sir Jock Stirrup said the current force of almost 7,700 troops was likely to expand as British influence spread across Helmand province.

"I suspect that we will, over time, as we develop more opportunities, as we spread our influence, want to increase our capacity in one or two areas to take advantage of those opportunities," the Chief of the Defence Staff told the BBC.
