Assault on Taliban stronghold of Marja begins

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:
