Assault on Taliban stronghold of Marja begins
By Bill Roggio February 13, 2010 11:00 AM Coalition and Afghan forces have launched the long-awaited assault on the Taliban stronghold of Marja in Afghanistan's southern Helmand province. A combined force of more than 6,000, including US Marines, Afghan soldiers, and British troops, kicked off the operation during an air and ground assault in and around the city of Marja in central Helmand province after midnight yesterday. Hundreds of troops were inserted into Marja by helicopter to seize key points within the city. http://www.longwarjournal.org/archives/2010/02/assault_on_taliban_s.phpRead more here:
