Lions of Islam in Drag
AFGHAN, COALITION FORCES INTENSIFY OFFENSIVE IN URUZGAN BAGRAM AIRFIELD, Afghanistan  Afghan National Army and Coalition forces attacked more than 40 extremists in Chora, Kala Kala, and Khorma districts during separate operations July 13 and 14 in Uruzgan Province in an effort to disrupt and deny enemy operations in those areas. In Deh Rawod, two extremist suicide bombers, wearing burkas and disguised as women, were killed during a cordon and search of a compound. Elsewhere, near the district of Khas Uruzgan, ANA and Coalition forces repelled an attacked by 20 enemy fighters with small arms fire, killing one extremist.Sounds like more range time is in order. The joint patrols took precautions to avoid harm to Afghan civilians during each operation, and there were no reports of Afghan civilian injuries. And if women were reported killed how would we know they weren't other Lions in drag - do we go lifting all the womens' burkas? Posted by: Glenmore 2006-07-15 |
