The intelligence report also predicts that Afghanistan will quickly fall into chaos if Washington and Kabul fail to sign the Bilateral Security Agreement (BSA), which would keep an international military contingent there after the NATO combat mission ends in 2014.
The newspaper cited officials who have read the classified report, which includes input from the 16 U.S. intelligence agencies, or were briefed on its conclusions.
