BRUSSELS — NATO allies agreed on Wednesday to extend Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen's term by a year to the end of July 2014, keeping him in charge as NATO-led forces wind down their leading combat role in Afghanistan. Rasmussen, 59, will be in office until a few months before the planned end of NATO combat operations in Afghanistan at the end of 2014. “Following a process of consultations, allies approved today Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen's fifth year in office,” a statement from NATO ambassadors said. — Reuters
